Our Services
Building a Container & Foundation for Health Equity Series
This highly engaging and interactive series teaches foundational health equity and racial justice frameworks and analysis, and supports teams in building the trust and container necessary to do the hard work of addressing racism and other systems of oppression in our relationships, work, and institutions. The series is built around a set of sequential stages, including foundational workshops, Community of Practice sessions, and technical assistance hours.
Customized Consulting and Training
Wherever your organization is on your health equity journey, we offer customized and heart-centered consulting and training to foster systems change, and advance targeted strategies on a wide range of topics, including narrative strategy, power mapping, and equity impact assessment. Trainings can be virtual (minimum 3 hours; up to 30 participants) or in-person (minimum half day and up to 3 consecutive days; participant size varies).
Community of Practice
Our Community of Practice (CoP) is a space where public health practitioners come together to explore, discuss, and develop shared understanding of strategies that advance health equity and racial justice. The CoP model helps participants deepen authentic relationships and “get on the same page” so they can act as meaningful partners in this work. We pair our CoP sessions with foundational workshops, technical assistance, and coaching on various topics to help public health practitioners learn new ways of being together and advance health equity more effectively.
From our partners
“Working with HIP has been nothing short of transformational for so many of us at the Vermont Department of Health. Their deep expertise in racial and social justice, container building, working with multi-racial groups, and challenging the status quo (working within a state government reality) has helped us in so many ways as we try to liberate ourselves, our work culture, and our programming from White supremacy culture.”
Strengthening Partnerships between Public Health and Community-Based Organizations
Developed by the CDC Foundation in collaboration with HIP, this report draws upon the experiences of over 144 health department and CBO leaders to make recommendations for how to strengthen partnerships between health departments and community-based organizations.
