The Equity Exchange: Weathering + Equity Fatigue

The Equity Exchange is a new, equity-focused virtual event, hosted by NICHQ’s Department of Health Equity Innovation. This series provides a unique space to exchange innovative ideas, learn and discuss emerging theories, and share resources and tools on topics related to equity in maternal and child health. Expect something different than your standard webinar, with more ways to interact and engage on our new platform.

The weathering hypothesis states that chronic exposure to social and economic disadvantage leads to an accelerated decline in physical health outcomes and could partially explain racial disparities in a wide array of health conditions. In our commitment to creating a more equitable health system, we acknowledge the impacts of both navigating racist systems and working to dismantle them. In honor of National Minority Mental Health Month, join us for a conversation about equity fatigue and weathering, where we’ll discuss strategies for maintaining momentum and engagement in equity initiatives.
