Annotation: The National Resource Center for Patient/Family-Centered Medical Home (NRC-PFCMH), in partnership with Bright Futures National Center and the Screening, Technical Assistance, and Resource (STAR) Center, is hosting an educational webinar series, Making Connections: The Critical Role of Family-Centered Care in Addressing Social Determinants of Health for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN). The goal of this 2-part webinar series is to provide state Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) / CYSHCN programs, pediatricians, families, and others with information about the impact of social determinants of health on CYSHCN and their families, including implementation strategies for state programs. The series will discuss the role of these groups and state systems in addressing SDOH for CYSHCN by using components of the medical home model. This is the second webinar in the series and features 2 state Title V MCH / CYSHCN programs who will discuss how their states are addressing SDOH for CYSHCN.

Learning Objectives: • Describe data trends related to the impacts of SCOH on CYSHCN. • Increase understanding of the medical home model in addressing SDOH for CYSHCN at the state, community, and clinical levels. • Identify strategies being implemented by state MCH Title V/CYSHCN programs, families, and primary care pediatricians to address SDOH for CYSHCN by using components of the medical home model.

Annotation: The Maternal, Child, and Adolescent Health (MCAH) Life Course Perspective, Practice, & Leadership course is designed to provide an understanding of life course perspective, its practical applications, and related leadership opportunities. The life course perspective is a conceptual framework for understanding health trajectories of populations over time. The life course perspective posits that broad social, economic, and environmental factors not only shape health and contribute to health outcomes but are also the underlying causes of inequities in a wide range of maternal and child health outcomes. This course first provides a brief summary of the development and central components of this perspective. Building off these foundational concepts, the course then focuses on practical applications of this perspective in both healthcare settings and public health interventions. Through interviews with leaders in the MCAH field, including clinicians, researchers, and public health practitioners, this course will highlight essential leadership knowledge and skills necessary to apply a life course perspective in practice. The course is self-directed, online, and open source, which allows participants to learn at their own speed and convenience free of charge. While the course is designed with clinical professionals and public health practitioners in mind, it is available to all learners including students and professionals in other fields.

Learning Objectives: Learning Objectives (comprehensive) By the end of the training series, participants will be able to: • Define and describe the life course perspective and its core concepts • Identify examples of how the life course perspective has been applied and implemented in practice settings across the MCAH field • Identify leadership knowledge and skills that support advancing a life course perspective in practice. • Apply life course perspective knowledge and leadership skills to individual professional development.

Special Instructions: Registration is required.

Annotation: In this interactive webinar, Dr. Joanne Klevens, an epidemiologist at CDC, explored what ACEs are, their prevalence, their inequitable burden on low-income adults and people of color, and their impact on health and life opportunities. She introduced the World Health Organization’s (WHO) framework for addressing social determinants of health inequities and examined how CDC has used this framework to move its efforts upstream. Dr. Klevens presented the evidence around policies that hold the potential to prevent ACEs and the importance of narrative to reduce inequities. Vicky Roper, M.Ed., Director of the Kansas Children’s Service League, described how the Kansas Essentials for Childhood project is utilizing the CDC’s “Preventing Child Abuse and Neglect: A Technical Package for Policy, Norm, and Programmatic Activities” as a framework to move work addressing ACEs upstream. She also shared examples of Kansas’ advocacy, media, messaging, education and awareness, and evaluation efforts. Ms. Roper discussed Kansas’ work to foster family-friendly work environments, which can help to reduce ACEs. The webinar was moderated by Jim Vetter, Ed.M., of Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC).

Learning Objectives: • Understand what ACEs are, their prevalence, their inequitable burden on low-income adults and people of color, and their impact on health and life opportunities. • Be introduced to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) framework for addressing social determinants of health inequities • Gain experience in interpreting the evidence around policies that hold the potential to prevent ACEs and the importance of “narrative” to reduce inequities.
