Monday, April 5: Rebuilding and Elevating the essential and health workforce

Facebook:

Celebrate as we build bridges to better health during National Public Health Week!

After a year of unprecedented times and hardship, Virginia is resilient and building connections and listening to community leaders who prioritize health for everyone.

This week gives us a chance to show the progress we have made and to start building the necessary connections. Virginia’s vaccination efforts are well underway as we #VaccinateVirginia. For more information, visit: https://vaccinate.virginia.gov/

Health must be a priority in designing our communities, for science, for action and for health. See today’s NPHW fact sheet: www.nphw.org/NPHW-2021/Rebuilding

Tuesday, April 6: Advancing Racial Equity

Facebook: 

Racism is an ongoing public health crisis that has played a significant role in widening health disparities. Racism shapes where and how people live, what resources and opportunities they have and directly affects the physical and mental health of people of color. At VDH, our office of Health Equity works tirelessly to engage front-line response efforts surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and health disparities. #RacismOrHealth

For more information, visit: www.vdh.virginia.gov/health-equity/

Today at 1 p.m. please join us for a webinar on Advancing Racial Equity. The presentation is being provided by the Equity Leadership Taskforce (ELT) highlighting the work of the ELT and Health Equity Working Group (HEWG) throughout the COVID-19 response.

Wednesday, April 7: Strengthening Community and Uplifting Mental Health and Wellness

Facebook: 

Strengthening community improves public health in the places where we live, work, play, and learn. Let’s work toward clean, well-designed, connected communities for all. At VDH, there are several programs that work consistently to reach this goal. For more information, visit:  https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/vdhlivewell/healthy-living/

COVID-19 and racism have been the dual epidemics harming mental health in our country. Uplift mental health and wellness as key parts of public health. We understand how this is effecting people.

Anyone experiencing anxiety or stress related to COVID-19 may call or text VA COPES, a free and confidential COVID-19 response warmline, at: 877-349-6428. This line is available: Mon.-Fri. 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. & Sat.–Sun. 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Spanish speakers are available.
