The Healthy Communities Working Group is a collection of WRAG members who come together to learn, network, and take action to make the Greater Washington region a place where all people thrive. The group's current areas of focus include the social determinants of health, specifically mental health and trauma, and the intersection of health and housing. The group also seeks to apply a racial equity lens throughout its work. The group meets monthtly and is open to all WRAG members, including non-health funders.
During this meeting, Dr. Barbara Bazron, Director of the DC Department of Behavioral Health, will provide an overview of their programs. This kicks off HCWG’s journey to learn the innovations and challenges in addressing the behavioral health needs in the region.
