These experts will discuss the right to a clean and healthy environment where communities can live, work, learn, play, and thrive. They will explore the impact of housing affordability and stability on health, and the environmental impact on health, exposure to toxins, and location exposure impacting communities of color. We will examine the learning environment, the physical and mental health well-being of students from cyberbullying to suicide and counselors. Finding solutions and connecting the dots to Regional Health Equity and Inequities is the theme. Attendees are encouraged to send their questions and concerns beforehand and will also have many opportunities to submit questions during the Q&A discussions via chat.
