CASEY Health (BRIEF Youth Lessons)

What happened when adults in Appalachia acted and engaged children with BRIEF health lessons? Dietitian Julie Plasencia and Nurse Practitioner Angie Grubbs' work shows that health education can start early, be fun, fast, and involve the community.
Poor health is costly to families and communities. Children will keep missing school, their parents will have to miss work, and their teachers will continue to play catch up with children who are falling behind. Every child is born with an innate desire to thrive, and adults have the responsibility to support each child in leading a healthy life.
Big Idea Talks are in the TED Talk style from experienced health care providers who are collaborating in new ways to advance health equity in their communities and beyond. The speakers have completed fellowships in Clinical Scholars, a national leadership program supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF).
