As an extension of the Building Resilient Inclusive Communities (BRIC) and State Partnerships Improving Nutrition and Equity (SPINE) programs, the Center for Advancing Healthy Communities is proud to provide ongoing training and technical assistance to all states and territories around advancing food and nutrition security, access to safe physical activity opportunities, social connectedness, and health equity. The frequency and mode of technical assistance will vary, however, the goal remains the same – to grow knowledge, leadership, and capacity to collectively foster healthy communities for all by advancing health equity and eliminating social barriers to health.
