On May 13, 2020, the California Essentials for Childhood (EfC) Initiative held a webinar entitled, “Health Equity and COVID-19: Opportunities to Improve Child Wellbeing through Policy” and heard from special guest speaker, Dr. Flojaune Cofer, Senior Director of Policy with the All Children Thrive (ACT) California project. This interactive webinar examined what success could look like to address COVID-19 by describing equity concerns arising for children and families that have been exacerbated by the pandemic, shared examples where California’s approach has been effective, and explored opportunities for improvement. A discussion facilitated by Equity Subcommittee Chairs, Lucy Roberts and Michael Williams, followed about ways in which organizations and programs could implement the information shared by Dr. Cofer.
