State specific Title V priority: Food Insecurity

Title V Goal: Reduce food insecurity in families to ensure access to a healthy and nutritious diet for optimal health and development. State Performance Measures: A. Percent of households experiencing food insecurity B. Percent of households with children < 18 years of age experiencing food insecurity State Title V Lead for Food Insecurity: Robin Stanton Robin.w.Stanton@state.or.us

What is Food Insecurity?

Household food security = access by all members at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life. Includes at a minimum: ….and Food Insecurity? Is the limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods or limited or uncertain ability to acquire acceptable foods in socially acceptable ways (not having to resort to emergency food supplies,

scavenging, stealing or other coping strategies).

What is Hunger? A potential consequence of food insecurity that results in discomfort, illness, weakness, or pain that goes beyond the usual uneasy

• sensation. USDA uses the description “very low food security”.

USDA Infographic

10

Food Insecurity

• Rates remain

higher than national average

• Oregon rates

remain higher than before the recession

• FI has significant

impacts on health and development

11

Strategies to Reduce Food Insecurity

1. Screen clients for food insecurity* 2. Provide referrals for food assistance* *screening and referral strategies are linked 3. Address risk factors related to food insecurity (eg access, cost & health outcomes, social determinants) during clinic visits 4. Support or provide food security education

12

Strategies to Reduce Food Insecurity

5. Advocate, support or develop partnerships for accessibility to healthy & affordable food; consider wide array of partnerships beyond public health and food advocacy groups 6. Promote access to healthy and affordable food 7. Improve access to food assistance safety net programs 8. Increase economic stability for individuals and families

13

State specific Title V priority: Toxic stress/trauma/ACEs

Title V goal: Reduce exposure to toxic stress, trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs); and promote resilience among Oregon’s children, youth and families, and communities. State performance measure: A.) Percentage of new mothers who experienced stressful life events before or during pregnancy. B.) Percentage of mothers of 2 year olds who have adequate social support.

State Title V lead for trauma/ACEs: Nurit Fischler nurit.r.fischler@state.or.us 971 673-0344

14

Toxic stress/trauma/ACEs

 Adverse childhood experiences and other forms of trauma (historic and personal) are common. 41% of Oregonians have experienced 2 or more ACEs.  Individual and community level protective factors can enhance resiliency an buffer the effects of adversity and trauma.

• Relationship is key including: secure attachment, stable and responsive parent/child relationships, meaningful peer

and adult relationships for youth, social support, connection to community, culture, and spirituality.

 Title V programs promote safe, stable and nurturing relationships and environments

• Across the lifecourse
• Across settings
• Across the spectrum of prevention
• Across cultures, ethnicities, and races

15

Shared principles in applying the findings of the ACEs study in Oregon*

– Invest upstream in prevention and resiliency – Identify risk early and intervene early – Work across the lifespan – Build bridges across systems – Use data to drive decision-making – Develop a skilled workforce – Empower self-organizing communities

* From Ford Family Foundation report: The Adverse Childhood Experiences Study: How are the findings being applied in Oregon?; August 2014

1. Promote family friendly policies that decrease stress and adversity for all parents, increase economic stability, and/or promote health. 2. Provide outreach and education on the importance of early childhood, NEAR* science, and the impact of childhood adversity

• n lifelong health.

3. Develop community partnerships, inter-agency collaborations, and cross-systems initiatives to prevent/address ACEs and trauma.

17

Strategies: Toxic stress/trauma/ACEs

4. Conduct assessment, surveillance, and epidemiological research. Use data and NEAR* science to drive policy decisions. 5. Develop a trauma-informed workforce and workplaces. 6. Integrate trauma-informed care and culturally-specific approaches into services and systems for children, adolescents and families. 7. Identify children, youth and families experiencing adversity and connect them to needed supports and services.

18

Strategies: Toxic stress/trauma/ACEs

8. Implement community level equity initiatives, and trauma and violence prevention programs. 9. Build community capacity for cohesion, safe and secure places, and equitable opportunities.

• 10. Strengthen protective factors for individuals and families; support

programs that build parent capabilities, social emotional competence, and supportive/nurturing relationships; and foster connection to community, culture and spirituality.

State Specific Priority #3: CLAS Standards

Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services

Title V goal:

Improving culturally and linguistically services is an important way to address health disparities. Race/ethnicity is a leading determinant of health outcomes, and improving CLAS among MCH populations will lead to better health for families.

State performance measure:

• A. Percentage of children age 0 - 17 years who have a healthcare provider who

is sensitive to their family’s values and customs;

• B. Percentage of new mothers who have ever experienced discrimination while

getting any type of health or medical care

State Title V Lead for CLAS:
