For Pride Month, we’re highlighting LGBTQIA-related resources from the P4HE Resource Library.

This collection includes a range of materials, including toolkits, research, and learning resources that can support cross-sector teams looking to strengthen understanding and improve practice. If you’re building programming, communications, services, or policy work, this is a useful hub to bookmark and revisit.

Research has helped us better understand the systems, policies, and structures that drive health inequities.

Now, the challenge is implementation.

In this episode of The Skin You’re In podcast, Dr. Georges Benjamin (of the American Public Health Association) and Dr. Thomas LaVeist discuss the work still needed to move from evidence to action and close the equity gaps that continue to shape health outcomes across communities.

With only a few days left in Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re sharing a practical resource for anyone who still wants to participate in a thoughtful, supportive way.

SAMHSA's MHAM toolkit includes ready-to-use social content and graphics, weekly themes and key messages, and best practices for more supportive conversations about mental health. It’s a helpful “one-stop” download you can use now and revisit beyond May.

Narrative power is not limited to big stages or formal titles.

In this clip, Dr. Maurice Hinson reminds us that everyone has a “microphone,” and that everyday conversations in families and communities can shape what we understand, what we notice, and what we do next.

In moments of uncertainty, stories shape how people make sense of the world and what they believe is possible.

This blog introduces P4HE’s 2026 focus on narrative power, explaining how community-authored stories can strengthen resilience and why coordinated dissemination and durable “narrative infrastructure” matter for long-term impact. It’s a useful read for cross-sector teams working at the intersection of communication, community partnership, and public health.

Where have you seen storytelling shift understanding or build momentum in your work?

Mental and emotional well-being is not separate from community health, it's part of it.

For Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re sharing this clip from Dr. Thomas LaVeist, who connects the rise in homelessness to untreated, undiagnosed mental health needs and substance use, including self-medication. He also points to a broader challenge: without robust systems of care and support, people’s potential is lost and communities carry the consequences.

What solutions do you have for us to meet people with care, stability, and real pathways back to health?

Starting today: P4HE and Partnership for Southern Equity are co-hosting a free 3-part virtual workshop series on Narrative Power, grounded in community-centered storytelling in the U.S. South.

Today’s session opens the series with shared learning and reflection to help participants examine how narratives shape research and practice and begin mapping practical approaches they can sustain over time.

If you have a few minutes ahead of our Narrative Power workshop series, we recommend checking out P4HE’s Resource Spotlight on narrative power.

It’s a curated collection of practical resources on storytelling, framing, and dissemination that can help you come in with useful context and ideas for the discussion.

Air quality and extreme heat are not evenly distributed, and neither are the health impacts.

In this clip, Dr. Thomas LaVeist connects environmental conditions to how hazards are placed, how neighborhoods are built, and what protections communities have access to, including tree canopy and shade. When those protections are missing, heat islands form and everyday exposure rises.

In honor of Air Quality Awareness Week, we are sharing this as a reminder that community health is shaped by the environments we inherit and the decisions we can change.

05/13/2026

We're hosting a free 3-part virtual workshop series in collaboration with Partnership for Southern Equity!
