MCH 20|20 Logo Welcome

MCH 20|20 -- Micro-reflection program to continue learning in difficult times. 2020 will be remembered as one of the most pressing public health crises of a generation. As a field, we are being charged with a level of engagement unparalleled in recent memory. In this environment, it is often difficult to pause and think about our skills as MCH professionals. Everyone is under added stress as many of us work from home or directly out in the populations we serve, while juggling new work demands related to COVID-19. However, we are hoping that everyone can take a 5 minute break to breathe, reflect, and learn. MCH 20|20 will help you learn and grow during the toughest of days.

How Does MCH 20|20 Work?

We asked a series of 20 questions to jump-start learning and sharpening of skills. Over the course of the year, professionals in the field shared their learning goal, areas where they need to grow, and learning aspirations with us. We assembled resources around each of the 20 questions and your responses, addressing the expressed needs during the pandemic.

Now those answers and resources are available to you, in one place.

You can click below to read more about each question, reply back with your own answer (optional), learn a little about how the question relates to the MCH Leadership Competencies, access some additional learning, and see what the field is saying (and what they're learning right along with you!).
