California Health Care Foundation’s Post

CHCF just published a thought-provoking perspective on rebuilding trust in government systems to empower vulnerable communities: 🔹 Efficient delivery of resources in health and human services is crucial for establishing trust 🔹 Trust encourages engagement in upward mobility programs like adult education and workforce development 🔹 Many families avoid available programs due to lack of trust or social stigma 🔹 Rebuilding trust can break the cycle of multi-generational poverty This approach emphasizes meeting people where they are - in neighborhoods and communities, alongside trusted partners. It can foster self-reliance, build hope, and uplift entire communities. As professionals in the public sector or those interested in social impact, how can we contribute to rebuilding trust in these critical systems?

I appreciate the call to action and the vision for an improved public health care system. I think a first step is acknowledging that there are sound reasons why there is a lack of trust. In general, the public health care systems have failed to provide care for those who need it most (esp. Black and Native peoples, people who do not speak English as their primary language, people living with disabilities, etc.). In fact, the systems have caused more harm than help in some cases. So no wonder there is no trust. And among some people there never was trust. If the public health system was designed by the people who use it, resources were aligned, the workforce was well-supported, and people easily accessed quality, competent care, there would be no trust issues!

Marko, thanks for sharing this insightful article. It perfectly articulates what many of us who have been or are currently on the frontlines of these organizations have been advocating for for years. As you've rightly pointed out, leveraging the right technology and breaking down the silos between programs to facilitate information sharing and create a more holistic and effective support plan for the "whole" person and/or family is the only way we'll witness significant change. Excellent article!  #makingadifference #helpingothers #StrengtheningFamilies #HealthandHumanServices
