** Health Justice
------------------------------------------------------------

In this week’s Health Justice newsletter, we look at how new frames and structures can better support people and lead to better outcomes. First, in 2024, the US surgeon general issued an advisory warning that parental stress ([link removed]) has become a public health crisis. We hear from two educators in child development and maternal development about how better understanding the developmental changes of parenthood could help support parents. Next, healthcare and social service systems could be revolutionized by decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) ([link removed]) , structures that offer true shared decision-making and transparency for patients, families, employees, and more. We see how this tech-supported org structure—usually associated with blockchain and cryptocurrency—might improve
health outcomes. Then, a recent federal rule would strike medical debt from credit reports ([link removed]) , protecting millions of people from having their credit destroyed by unexpected debt. Will the Trump administration allow this important—and popular—rule to stand? That is one of many, many open questions causing stress right now. At NPQ, we believe the antidote to uncertainty and anxiety is information and connection. Join us and your peers in the sector for next month’s webinar ([link removed]) , “Advocacy in a Second Trump Administration: A Practical Guide for Leaders on Defending Progress and Advancing Justice,” to get the information you need in the community that holds you up.
