Time for Action: A Symposium to Advance Upstream Social Determinants and Health Equity Please join us for the National Action Agenda Symposium on January 25-26, 2021. The event will focus on action recommendations devised by subject matter experts nationwide during the past year – including a preview of how implementation will begin at our model site in the months ahead.
Welcome to the National Action Agenda to Advance Upstream Social Determinants and Health Equity Stewards of Change Institute, the Stanford University Center for Population Health Sciences and additional organizational collaborators across the country are creating a National Action Agenda to Advance Upstream Social Determinants and Health Equity. The initiative’s intent is to instigate and implement tangible, systems-level change across Health, Human Services, Education, Public Health, Public Safety and other domains. The need for doing so is vividly illustrated by the racial and socioeconomic disparities being laid bare in our country today. The Equity Action Agenda encompasses a coordinated set of ambitious activities throughout this year and beyond, all of which are designed to significantly accelerate progress through cross-sector data-sharing, interoperability and collaboration. We strongly believe that doing so will:
* Important: Six workgroup teams are helping to shape the National Action Agenda, each focusing on a different Social Determinant: Community & Social Context, Economic Mobility, Education, Health Care & Behavioral Health System, Legal, and Neighborhood & Physical Environment. Each team has its individual workplace on the NAA Group page, which you can get to by clicking the team name in the navigation bar. Each workspace is where that team’s members can share and view resources, post questions, work collaboratively, and catch up on the latest news and meeting information as it pertains to their topic area. |

Among many definitions of SOCIAL CAPITAL, I offer one that might offer a better connection for improving HEALTH.
. SOCIAL CAPITAL may be defined as:
. the spontaneity occurring among a community's resident persons
. for using the norms of trust, cooperation, and reciprocity
. to resolve the social dilemmas they encounter daily
. that becomes more readily expressed by the community's persons
. when multi-generational caring relationships
. increasingly permeate the community's social networks.
CARING RELATIONSHIPS are defined as
. a social interaction involving two persons
. that begins with beneficent respect for each other's autonomy,
. thrives by each person's steady renewal of their adaptive skills, and
. flourishes from a timely intent to communicate 'in harmony'
. with warmth, non-critical acceptance, congruence, and empathy.
