Greetings!
Please join us on
Tuesday, September 10th
as we welcome Wendy Ellis,
DrPH, MPH
for the last presentation in our 2019 Speaker Series.
A Cincinnati native, Dr. Ellis has spent the last decade developing and working to grow a 'resilience movement' to address systemic inequities that contribute to social and health disparities that are often transmitted in families and communities from generation to generation and has been nationally recognized for her ground-breaking work.
Through the power of data and policy analysis-- Dr. Ellis's presentation will demonstrate that many of our area's poor live in communities of concentrated poverty not by choice, but rather by design-- the cumulative result of social and criminal policies enacted over the course of our nation's history. How these policies have shaped the area's neighborhoods --from Price Hill to Avondale, Hyde Park to Lincoln Heights-- helps us understand the need to address childhood adversity through policy and system redesign.
Join us for this provocative conversation and learn what you can do as we work to build a more Resilient and Equitable Cincinnati.
We hope to see you at this free event! Please share widely!
Best,
The Joining Forces for Children Team
