Advancing #HealthEquity starts by addressing social determinants of health at the local level. That's why today, we announced an investment of nearly $35 million towards the development of affordable housing in Hawaii. 👇 🏘️ Each affordable housing community will offer residents supportive social and educational programs tailored to address specific needs of both communities. For example, one of the units located in Lahaina, Maui will bring much needed affordable housing options, along with accessible health and educational resources, to families in an area heavily impacted by the 2023 Maui fires. 📚 And in Kapolei, Oahu, residents of the affordable housing units will have access to no-cost education, health and wellness services – including an on-site preschool, a unique feature for this property to help residents and their families thrive. CVS Health is committed to providing historically underserved communities with access to meaningful resources like affordable housing and high-quality health care.

"When working to address and prevent Adverse Childhood Experiences, it's important to consider a child's built environment, or the physical surroundings in which they live. Built environment impacts a family's access to school, healthcare, grocery stores, parks, sidewalks, and bicycle/walking paths, which, in turn, directly impacts a child and their family's level of physical activity and health outcomes."

Children are often the silent victims of policy decisions - their voices and needs were overlooked during the pandemic. Initial school closures were understandable, but the prolonged shutdown revealed a lack of foresight in government planning. For vulnerable children in cramped conditions without access to digital education, the situation was particularly dire. Yet, these children’s voices were either unheard or simply ignored. https://lnkd.in/eH_FPVnM    #childrenwellbeing #childrensoutcomes #childrencare #childrenswellbeing #learningresults #childrensmentalhealth #childrensservices #socialcare #socialcarejobs #socialcarerecruitment #children #wellness #wellbeing #childrensmentalhealthmatters

Caring for our most vulnerable children is perhaps the most crucial role of local authorities. Yet, they face a myriad of challenges in children's residential care, including rising demand, lack of supply in the right places, and a market reliant on debt-financed business models driven by scale. These factors are leading to poor outcomes for children. In our latest #PrioritisingPublicServices series blog, Scott Darraugh, Chief Executive of Social adVentures, and Ross Murray argue that provider models rooted in local communities and cooperative solutions, such as the innovative Fair Care Alliance in Greater Manchester, can become the blueprint for tackling the crisis in children's residential care. Scott and Ross tackle the pressing questions: ➡ What are the critical issues facing children's residential care today? ➡ What actionable steps can be taken to address these challenges? ➡Where do we stand in the journey towards transformation in children's residential care?
