S2 Ep 6- Insights from the Next Generation: "Public Health...for Me"

On this episode of Community Level, Kaija and JoSophia sit down with middle school students to explore what health and public health mean to them and how they show up in their everyday lives. Together, they aim to make public health more accessible by centering youth voices and perspectives, learning how COVID-19 impacted them at a young age, and discussing their perspectives on the health of their schools and neighborhoods. Join us as we learn from the next generation and break down public health in a way that’s simple, relatable, and real.

S2 Ep 5- Connecting the Dots: Public Health & Carceral Systems

In this episode, our co-host, Sheila and Alyah, explore the intersection of public health and incarceration.

This episode shows the gaps in our traditional public health systems and the ways communities are stepping in to fill them.
