The complex drivers of #domesticviolence make it clear that prevention is not up to one sector, community, or person. This @Health_Affairs blog, co-authored by @cwangkong details our work to break the cycle of DV by addressing its causes. @preventioninst https://t.co/otUpdLgprq

[Blue Shield of California Foundation @BlueShieldFound]

San Ysidro Domestic Violence Prevention Collaborative is aiming to end domestic violence in Southern CA. They are taking a multi-pronged approach involving community leaders called promotoras & arts to change norms & engage families & communities to end DV https://t.co/v3fkAVJRZ9

In CA, where half of all children have an immigrant parent, the damage of a 2020 census undercount would be profound, with long-lasting effects -- not just for their families and communities, but for all of us. Learn more: https://t.co/NECoNgZJ4V

[Blue Shield of California Foundation @BlueShieldFound]

The 2010 census missed more than 10% of all children under age 5 in the U.S.
When we miss children in the census, it has serious consequences for them, their families, their communities & our nation

Here's what you can do & why it matters: https://t.co/tIZU7zees9

From @PeterLongBSCF: This report is different because 1) It is person-centered with a holistic view, 2) It takes a longitudinal view of health, 3) We are all working on this together, 4) It is bold, at-scale, and sustainable. #CAFutureWorkforce

Breaking the cycle of #domesticviolence: A foundation in CA expands its #prevention strategy to include a focus on root causes. Such violence is not just a private concern. It affects communities. @cwangkong @BlueShieldFound @preventioninst https://t.co/EC4yGDiPv3

3/3 I am confident that the Foundation's incredible staff, together with our partners across CA, will continue to rethink health and DV systems. My new role gives me the opportunity to take that work to scale, and together, we can all continue to move California further forward.

[Peter Long, Ph.D. @PeterLongBSC]

1/3 Yesterday, @BlueshieldFound and I announced that I will be leaving the Foundation on April 12 to take on an amazing opportunity to build on the groundbreaking work of the Foundation to transform health care in CA... https://t.co/RvvVEj0wBt

[Peter Long, Ph.D. @PeterLongBSC]

2/3 The Foundation today is more effective and better equipped than ever before to achieve its mission of making CA the healthiest state and ending domestic violence. I feel honored, humbled, and privileged to have been part of that work for the past nine years.

[Peter Long, Ph.D. @PeterLongBSC]

A potential undercount of immigrant and minority families in 2020 will render many Californians invisible to policymakers, who won’t see them in the census data. Without a full enumeration of CA's communities in their full diversity, we won't understand who we are as Californians

[Blue Shield of California Foundation @BlueShieldFound]

The 2020 census is critical for ALL Californians. We believe that everyone should be treated with respect & have access to services & opportunities that allow them to thrive. Read about what we are doing to ensure every Californian is counted @rthomason

A data strategy can help direct decision-making, further understanding of collective knowledge, & surface new opportunities. Senior Fellow Jen Lewis-Walden is using data to help us achieve our bold goal of making CA the healthiest state & end DV.
