CATCH Referenced in the Leadership for Healthy Communities Action Strategies Toolkit
CATCH has been referenced in the Leadership for Healthy Communities Action Strategies Toolkit. Kathryn
Bertram, Communications Director for the Leadership for Healthy
Communities describes the goals of the program and toolkit:
“Leadership for Healthy Communities, a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, works to support local and state leaders nationwide in their efforts to promote healthy, active communities and access to affordable, healthy foods.
Working in close collaboration with 11 influential policy-maker organizations, Leadership for Healthy Communities developed the toolkit to equip state, municipal, county and school leaders with promising and evidence-based policy approaches designed to improve children’s health and reduce childhood obesity.
The comprehensive resource includes strategies in 10 policy areas, lists of key stakeholders, tips on how to start programs, and examples of policies that states and communities have implemented successfully. It is prefaced with an unequivocal leadership statement signed by executive directors from each of the 11 participating policy-maker organizations. This statement underscores the organizations’ recognition that childhood obesity is a national problem and reflects their commitment to work collaboratively across levels of government to build healthier communities.”
