Center for Community Health Equity

The Center for Community Health Equity (CCHE), in partnership with Chicago Scholars, hosted a Belonging Workshop at DePaul University, engaging young leaders in critical dialogue around community, identity, and inclusion. Through guided discussion and interactive activities, students explored what belonging means in their neighborhoods and schools, barriers to connection, and ways to strengthen community ties. The workshop emphasized reflection, shared experiences, and actionable ideas to foster equity and a deeper sense of belonging among Chicago's youth.

As always, we appreciate our partnership with Chicago Scholars and look forward to future workshops!

Our next episode of Voices of Community Health Equity is now live!

We were so excited to talk with Dr. Julia Lippert, a public health researcher whose work focuses on environmental and occupational health through the lens of social epidemiology, health statistics, and community-based participatory research. Her work is deeply rooted in advancing solutions that address health disparities among vulnerable worker populations and underserved communities in Chicago.
