Bridging across political differences and reducing polarization

Engaging in the public policy process can help build the power necessary to change community conditions that shape health and well-being. In this webinar, we’ll introduce a tool to help people with different backgrounds, values and perspectives engage in productive conversations with decision makers. This approach from Voices for Healthy Kids fosters connection, authenticity and trust. Allyson Frazier, national senior director of Voices for Healthy Kids, will share ways to better understand and engage with people who hold conservative values. Biz Harris, executive director of the Mississippi Early Learning Alliance, will describe how her organization has used the tool to reduce polarization and find common ground to improve health and equity.

Mark your calendars: Immediately following the webinar at 3 p.m. CT/4 p.m. ET, County Health Rankings & Roadmaps will host a one-hour discussion. Join us in an engaging dialogue with peers across the country and share your experiences working toward equity.
