Today, JPCHC celebrates Juneteenth and the connection between this holiday and caring for underserved communities. We take a moment today to consider the civil rights work that has happened since the first Juneteenth in 1865, and the ongoing efforts of community health centers to eliminate health disparities regardless of race or income. Wherever you are, HAPPY JUNETEENTH!

Some interesting nuances here
"We hope our assessments help to drive improvement and parity of esteem for the adult social care sector. We will all either use our local authorities for social care at some point in our lives or a loved one will, so it really matters to everybody how local authorities are functioning and how they are delivering on their duties. And our public reports and ratings will enable people to see what their local authority is doing, how it compares to others, the current risks and challenges within that local authority area, and the impact it has on local people. The knowledge people have from those reports about what their local authority is doing means they’ll be able to hold them to account for things where they might not be doing as well. And we can also showcase best practice and innovative ways that local authorities care for and support people." — Mary Cridge, Director of adult social care Catch the full question and answer session, which was hosted by Community Care, below. Expect an update on our local authority assessment pilots, our longer term approach, how we’re talking to frontline staff and much more.

Today, we celebrate Human Rights Day, a reminder of the fundamental freedoms and rights each of us deserves. This year, we’re shining a spotlight on an essential but often overlooked right: housing. Housing isn't just shelter; it's a fundamental human right that empowers dignity, security, and opportunity. And for individuals with mental health and addictions issues, housing with supports is key to recovery. To combat chronic homelessness and to help people with mental illness or substance use issues thrive in the community, serious and sustained investment is required for supportive housing models across Ontario.

Restorative justice goes beyond punishment, focusing on healing, accountability, and community repair. Here are some of the key benefits: 🔹 Healing for Those Harmed: Provides a platform for individuals who have been harmed to voice their experiences, fostering emotional healing and closure. 🔹 Accountability for Those Who Caused Harm: Encourages those who have caused harm to understand the impact of their actions and take responsibility, promoting genuine remorse and behavioral change. 🔹 Reduced Recidivism: Studies show that restorative justice can significantly lower recidivism rates, creating safer communities. 🔹 Community Strengthening: Involves community members in the justice process, building trust and resilience within neighborhoods. 🔹 Cost-Effective: Often more affordable than traditional punitive systems, allowing resources to be redirected towards prevention and support services. #RestorativeJustice is not just an alternative; it’s a pathway to a more compassionate and effective justice system. Let's advocate for practices that repair harm, rebuild lives, and restore communities.

February 20 is United Nations Day of Social Justice, join ACESWorld as we observe this day throughout February. We are bringing awareness to #social justice issues all month long. Many communities of color are entrenched in unjust, #unhealthy housing situations. According to the American Public Health Association, 20% of African American households, 17% of American Indian or Alaskan Native households, 15% of Hispanic households and 10% of Asian households are extremely low income renters who are trapped in a cycle of limited economic mobility and #poor health. Those in this income group are at increased risk for mental and physical health issues due to their housing and neighborhood conditions. Solutions require diverse perspective partnerships from multiple entities in the community and society at large. One solution recommended by the American Public Health Association is to increase affordability through policy and advocacy, specifically by advocating for healthcare financing for healthy homes initiatives. Learn more about social justice issues and solutions by following us. Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Project HOPE
