Advance your impact at the intersection of public health, environment, and justice. Advancing Health Equity and Environmental Justice: Systems, Policy, and Practice is a practical, community-rooted course designed for learners in gateway cities and beyond who want to understand why health gaps persist—and what to do about them. You will build a solid foundation in health equity, social determinants of health, and environmental justice, then connect identity, place, and policy to real-world outcomes in clinics, schools, and neighborhoods. Through case studies on structural racism, economic barriers, gender and LGBTQ+ care, and immigration and language access, you’ll learn respectful dialogue, trauma-informed approaches, and media literacy. You will also map local environmental burdens, analyze climate risks, and plan equitable preparedness with partners. Finally, you’ll develop change skills: ethical data use, community storytelling, and co-design of multi-level solutions. The course culminates in a capstone where you craft an actionable plan with community input—such as improving language access, safer routes to school, or heat resilience. Whether you are a student, frontline worker, or community advocate, you’ll leave with tools, templates, and confidence to influence decisions in your city and build healthier, more just environments.

            <p>Health is shaped by more than doctor visits. It’s connected to where we live, how we learn, what we breathe, and the choices our city makes. Advancing Health Equity and Environmental Justice: Systems, Policy, and Practice invites you to look at health through your own neighborhood, culture, and lived experience. Together, we will build shared agreements that honor choice, voice, confidentiality, and opt‑in participation. You’ll learn about support resources, language access, and multiple ways to ask for help. Early on, you will map “Health in My Neighborhood” to lift up strengths, spot barriers, and set goals that matter to you and your community.</p>

<p>We start with foundations—clear definitions of health equity, health disparities, and the social determinants of health—then connect them to policies, power, and history. You’ll explore how race, class, gender, and immigration status shape trust, access, and quality of care today. We will examine structural racism, bias in healthcare, and real data on maternal health, chronic disease, and mental health. You’ll also look at economic trade‑offs families face, the role of safety‑net clinics, and how gender norms and LGBTQ+ affirming care impact safety and privacy. For immigrant and refugee communities, we address documentation fears, public charge concerns, and the right to interpretation, while highlighting strengths like mutual aid, promotores, and youth leadership.</p>

<p>Place matters. The course connects environmental justice to health by investigating pollution, climate risks, and the built environment in your city. You’ll see how redlining, industrial zoning, and heat islands affect asthma, stress, and injury, and how green space, safe housing, and clean transit can promote well‑being. We will prepare for climate impacts—extreme heat, flooding, and smoke—through equitable emergency planning that includes language access, disability inclusion, and immigrant safety. You’ll map local burdens and assets, and practice ways youth can support preparedness, mutual aid, and partnerships with schools, clinics, and city agencies.</p>

<p>To create change, you need skills and voice. You will learn ethical data basics, how bias can show up in datasets and AI tools, and how to tell community stories with consent and care. Then you will design equity‑focused solutions using a simple pathway: define the issue, analyze root causes, co‑create options, and test ideas at multiple levels—individual, clinic, neighborhood, and policy. Hands‑on actions might include outreach, translation, wayfinding, heat safety kits, or clean air zones. Short quizzes help you check your learning along the way.</p>

<p>The course culminates in the Local Equity Challenge, where you choose a real issue—like language access at a clinic, safe routes to school, or heat resilience—and build a plan with community input. You’ll present practical next steps and the supports needed to move forward. Throughout, we aim to be trauma‑informed, culturally responsive, and supportive of English learners, recent immigrants, and refugee students. Your lived experience is expertise. Your ideas can shape healthier, more just neighborhoods—now and for the future.</p>
