COVID Communications: How To Talk With Your Communities During Pandemic
A discussion on best practices when talking to at-risk communities of color during a public health crisis
Healthcare Ready in partnership with The Council of State Governments Eastern Regional Conference, Council on Communities of Color presents a new installment in an ongoing series of conversations or micro-summits called "CSG East on COVID-19" or #CSGCOVID19.
These discussions offer insights, analysis and solutions on numerous challenges communities and governments face as the COVID-19 crisis ensues. This latest micro-summit will take place via Zoom on Friday, April 24th, 10am - 11am ET.
These micro-summits are being produced in partnership with the B|E Note. It is a unique convening of state and local policy makers, experts and thinkers concerned about the massive equity gaps exposed and worsened by the global coronavirus pandemic.
This week's focus will be an expert session on public health communications during a pandemic. Policymakers, community leaders, advocates and media professionals are all struggling to communicate directly with fearful audiences through difficult times, while watching real-time examples of leadership either failing to do the same or using the moment to sow division and more anxiety. Leaders must also find creative ways to talk with stakeholders and their constituents through limited means, while attempting to ensure the dissemination of accurate and useful information while attempting to inspire confidence. This challenge is even more pronounced for diverse, distressed and underserved Black and Brown communities that have a very difficult relationship with government institutions and elected officials.
REGISTER TODAY and join us for a 1-hour panel on how leaders can achieve optimal public health crisis communications during the COVID-19 pandemic. Panelists will offer expert insights and guidance.
Registrants will receive a Zoom access link upon registration. Audience members will be able to ask questions by chat. Audience members are encouraged to discuss and share the panel on social media at #HealthcareReady and #CSGCOVID19
