Child Trends
In 2021 and 2022, the Endowment for Health, community members across New Hampshire, and Child Trends worked together to form the Early Childhood Equity Movement (ECEM). The ECEM is a collaboration that aims to address and improve access to services such as early care and education, health care, and other family services (e.g., housing or SNAP/EBT) for racially and culturally diverse families in New Hampshire across three phases. The report will detail the process and findings from Phase 1, which aimed to highlight what is working, what is not working, and what families identify as needs in accessing services. It also briefly outlines steps we are currently taking in Phase 2 to collectively create dissemination materials and considers future recommendations for Phase 3--making changes based on the lessons learned through this movement.
