All Children Should Have an Equal Shot
Together, Our Voices Can’t Be Ignored
Raising awareness about minority health disparities can ignite a call for change that can’t be ignored. Ready to spread the word so that more people realize what’s at stake? Get started with social media. To help, we’ve put together a small collection of social media graphics about some of the health concerns facing minority families. Download the graphics, share on your social accounts, and tag @NICHQ so we can amplify your reach.
Reflect to Reduce Negative Reactions
Over time, we all develop subconscious stereotypes that influence our actions and decisions. These biases are informed by everything in our environment, from a show we watch on television to the attitudes of our family and friends. We can't avoid our biases, but we can change how we react to them. That’s why, in recognition of National Minority Health Month, NICHQ is hosting a webinar on understanding and recognizing implicit bias. Register now to reserve your free seat.
