Creating Sustainable Change through Policies, Systems and Environmental Adjustments

If you teach it, will they change? In many instances, individual efforts to make healthy choices are deterred by the environments where we live, learn, work and play. In this session, we'll discuss how to go beyond traditional programs and create sustainable change by implementing policy, systems and environmental changes that make the healthy choice the easy choice.

Panels

The Importance of Community Involvement and Multi-Sector Coalition Building

Well Kids Coalition of Central Iowa
A Multi-Sector Approach to Children’s Health & Well-Being
Originally convened in 2016 by the United Way of Central Iowa, Well Kids Coalition provided an opportunity for organizations from a variety of sectors supporting healthy eating and physical activity for children and families to share missions, goals and strategies. With input from multi-disciplinary partners, the Coalition works to focus and prioritize their multi-sector work on improving health outcomes for children prenatal through age 18 primarily around childhood obesity.

Get in the Game and Adapt your PLAY!
This session will challenge the audience to adapt their views of those who live daily with a disability - more than 20% of our population - and their need for access to positive physical and social activities.

Going Beyond the Grant: Strategies for Sustainability
Successful 5-2-1-0 implementation is about more than simply executing a grant. It requires creating the processes and systems that enable and empower change. This session will discuss the steps that come after creating those systems, leading to opportunities for long-term commitment and sustainability.
