The Water of Systems Change Approach: Connecting the Dots for Health Equity, Racial Justice, and Social Determinants of Health

ATMCH logoIn this webinar, members of the National MCH Workforce Development Center explained the basics of the Water of Systems Change (WSC) framework and how it is used as an organizing theory for state and local health departments to organize their efforts in addressing disparities and racism while advancing other social determinants of health (SDOH). The presenters then engaged participants in a discussion and brainstorming session of how these approaches can be applied and taught in academic programs.

A WSC tool and summary of activities from the field were shared; participants worked on an electronic whiteboard that participants can take back to their institution and integrate ideas into syllabi and curricula.
