CHIP June 8 2016 Group Notes
On June 8, 2016 community leaders from across Mendocino County convened in an all-day Community Health Improvement Planning (CHIP) Workshop at the Ukiah Conference Center. The meeting, hosted by the Community Health Needs Assessment Planning Group, was the first step in building a new county-wide initiative to improve the health and well-being of our County.
Meeting participants looked at questions such as:
- What factors have the greatest negative―and positive―impact on health in Mendocino County?
- What population groups and geographic areas are most vulnerable?
- What changes would make it easier for local residents to live healthy lives and fulfill their potential?
- Where can we make a strategic difference by combining our efforts and resources? In other words, what can we accomplish through a broad-based partnership that is less possible through more narrowly-defined efforts?
Five main issues were identified:
- Poverty
- Mental Health
- Childhood Obesity & Family Wellness
- Childhood Trauma
- Housing
Participants self-selected into five breakout groups on these key areas of focus and developed action plans and next steps.
The notes from each group can be viewed by following the links below.
