2016 Community Health Action Plan | Page 40

Setting/Delivery Mechanism Community – Messages for the ad campaign will be also be made available via the web and community education pieces (i.e. brochures, speaker powerpoints, etc.) for use in community outreach events. Children’s Colorado will leverage its own internal outreach efforts (parenting seminars, conferences, trainings, event sponsorships, etc.) as well as those of other organizations that work in public health and early care and education to disseminate shared messages about the importance of the First 1,000 Days. If parents of young children hear consistent messages about strategies for improving the health and wellbeing of their children from different messengers and through different channels, those messages become “stickier” and are more likely to be internalized and embraced. Provider – Campaign messaging and materials will be provided for family navigators and / or community health workers affiliated with Children’s Colorado as well as other related partners. We recognize that information given by a health care provider is often well-received, and that messages need to be heard a number of times to internalize, so we will use all available avenues when developed. Internal Resources OO Initial investment in shared message development OO Marketing and Communications External Partners Partners will be defined based on targeted communities for intervention.
