Co-locating advice and routine health appointments: Healthier wealthier families in East London
21 Nov 2024, 12:00 – 13:00
Child poverty and family health and wellbeing are intimately linked in the short and longer term. Child poverty affects larger families, and those with a child with a disability, and lone parents in particular, all characteristics of families disproportionately present in east London.
Health equity interventions such as Healthier Wealthier Families may have a role to play in alleviating child poverty and improving family income and mental health and wellbeing by streamlining access to money and in-kind advice. In this seminar, Claire will present the views of 55 parents and 12 professionals on the impacts of the intervention and how to make it work in areas with highly complex and intersecting disadvantages. The seminar will end with a discussion of future plans for the development of this work.
This in-person event will be particularly useful for social scientists, health scientists, and mental health professionals, and policymakers.
