Recorded Webinar - Child Health Equity presented January 27, 2010 by Jeff Goldhagen, MD  (This link will be available until February 23, 2010)

Welcome

The Society for Equity in Child Health (SECH) was established in 2006 as an interdisciplinary group of professionals committed to improving the health and well-being of children through the integration of the principles of equity, social justice, and children's rights into child health practice. The Society will work with the AAP, APA and other national and international professional organizations to advance this agenda.

Our vision is a society in which there is full respect for the human rights of every child and just allocation of the resources required to ensure the optimal health and well-being of children. The Society's mission is to ensure the optimal health and well-being of all children through the principles and practices of equity, social justice and children's rights.

The goals of the Society focus on generating new knowledge through research, promoting education and training, transforming pediatric practice, and developing public policy and advocacy. The Society will use a rights-based framework, built on the foundation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, to organize its work. The Society for Equity in Child Health will link with the expanding global network of Social Pediatrics Societies and nurture involvement with other disciplines. Close ties will be sought with the AAP and APA.
