Outreach and Partnerships
Public involvement is key to protecting
human health
and the environment. Citizens and communities need to have
information and
tools
that enable them to take steps toward protecting their children from
environmental
health threats. Organizations, industry and government entities at all
levels
also need information to help them take child-protective actions.
Providing basic information is a key focus of OCHP.
OCHP efforts to build community capacity in children's
environmental health protection include:
- providing information and tools to
the public;
- supporting community actions to protect
children;
- increasing the ability of health care providers to
identify,
prevent, and reduce
environmental health threats to children;
- engaging youth in children's
environmental
health protection; and
- working with states to develop programs to address
children's
environmental health issues.
