New Health Equity Timeline Contextualizes Health Disparities: Health inequities experienced today stem from histories that have impacted communities’ determinants of health. The new Health Equity Timeline features over 80 significant policies and events in King County that speak to the marginalization and resilience of systemically disadvantaged communities.
Empowering Through Data: A Closer Look at Black Community Health: In 2020, King County declared racism a public health crisis, highlighting its harmful impact on the health of Black residents. However, there was no centralized source for Black community health data. Communities Count collaborated with the Black Community Equity Team and Black Providers Network to develop an infographic tailored to the needs of the Black community. This resource aims to make health information accessible, engaging, and impactful for both community members and partners.
From Data to Action: Addressing Youth Mental Health and Substance Use in King County: Youth wellbeing is a priority, and the newly released Youth Mental Health and Substance Use in King County data brief sheds light on key issues affecting young people. This brief compiles local data and amplifies youth voices to highlight the need for comprehensive, culturally responsive, and developmentally appropriate mental health supports. Developed in collaboration with King County departments and Seattle Children’s, it emphasizes the importance of equitable access to resources that support youth mental health and well-being.
In partnership with Communities of Opportunity, Communities Count is offering free data and evaluation workshops for community based organizations in King County.
