Annotation: In this video series from the FrameWorks Institute, presenters explain how specific framing techniques can help you navigate some of the trickiest communication challenges. This series is designed to help communicators navigate some of the toughest framing challenges in today’s complex communications landscape, particularly when discussing health equity in rural areas. The initial episodes focus on communicating about health and health disparities, offering insights into framing with the shared value of dignity, fostering systemic thinking about health, and expanding the understanding of what health truly encompasses. Title V programs implementing the Blueprint for Change may find these insights valuable in advancing your efforts. In each Explain the Frame episode, presenters walk you through a common framing challenge, present a framing technique to help you navigate it, and explain how the framing works in practice. xxx

Learning Objectives: • Learn recommendations on how to communicate about health issues that affect some groups more than others. • Review research on how to paint a fuller, bigger picture of health.

Annotation: Maternal mortality is high in the U.S., and disparities persist. Non-Hispanic Black birthing persons are dying at nearly 3 times the rate of non-Hispanic White birthing persons. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) are uniquely positioned to address this public health crisis, building on historical commitment and demonstrated experience serving the local community, and educating underrepresented students. These students often come from underserved areas with poor maternal outcomes who want to return to their communities to work. MSIs have built trust with their communities and can offer valuable insights to guide research. However, MSIs have historically been underrepresented in federal research funding. In response, HRSA created the Maternal Health Research Collaborative for Minority-Serving Institutions (the MSI Collaborative) to establish a multi-institution research network focused on building the capacity of MSIs to conduct research that addresses disparities in maternal mortality, severe maternal morbidity, and maternal health outcomes. xxx

Learning Objectives: • Describe the maternal mortality crisis in the United States and the impact of racial disparities • Describe the unique role of HBCUs and other MSIs in understanding and addressing maternal health disparities • Describe the potential of the MSI Collaborative to contribute to a maternal health research workforce that is more diverse and inclusive • Discuss the MSI Collaborative’s community-engaged, community-informed, problem-solving research agenda

Annotation: In this one-hour webinar, which is part of the Hot Topics series, Paula Kett, PhD, MPH, RN, a research scientist at the University of Washington’s Center for Health Workforce Studies, and Dany Zemmel, MPH, the Training and Engagement Manager at the Region V Public Health Training Center, will focus on the components of public health practice that are important for health equity competencies. They will also discuss recommendations to improve workforce development and training, such as explicit naming of the effects of structural racism, application of new concepts, and skill development.

Annotation: The phrase "lived experience" is widely used in behavioral health, but what does it really mean? Is lived-experience a code word meaning “former mental patient”? Isn’t all experience, “lived experience” and therefore isn’t “lived experience” redundant? Can a clinician have lived experience? In this webinar, Pat Deegan will explore the origins of “lived experience” in philosophy and its migration into behavioral health. She will argue that lived experience introduces a new way of knowing that can complement, and at times disrupt, the clinical world view. The Northwest Mental Health Technology Transfer Center is committed to ensuring digital accessibility. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Learning Objectives: • What does lived experience really mean? • Lived experience is important because it is a source of wisdom that can be helpful to others. • Lived experience is important because it is another way of knowing.

Annotation: The Child Safety Learning Collaborative (CSLC), an initiative of the Children’s Safety Network (CSN) at Education Development Center (EDC), aims to reduce injury and violence among infants, children and youth. Now in its third cohort, the CSLC builds Title V capacity through technical assistance to cross-state, child safety topic teams by using data to inform decision making and applying quality improvement and innovation methods to sustainably implement and spread evidence-based strategies state-wide. Currently 18 state strategy teams are actively working on infant safe sleep, bullying prevention, suicide and self-harm prevention, and motor vehicle traffic safety. In this webinar, CSLC participating states will share how they have used quality improvement and innovation tools to work toward their goals. The webinar will highlight stories, lessons, tools, and resources used by the CSLC that can be used and adapted by any injury prevention program.

Learning Objectives: • Learn the overview of The Child Safety Learning Collaborative (CSLC) including their vision, strategy and how they support Title V States. • Discuss examples of quality improvement in injury prevention. • Explore newly released CSLC change packages.
