Our Work

We believe every person should have a fair and just opportunity for good health.

 

Yet in our region – the Greater Cincinnati area and surrounding counties – underlying problems present significant barriers to health and well-being. Inequities, such as economic injustice, systemic racism, and other forms of marginalization, shape the experiences of some groups. This leads to wide disparities between different places and the health of the people who live in them.

That’s why Interact for Health is committed to advancing health justice. We work to change systems so that community conditions promote good health, and so no group is exposed to environments that undermine health or well-being. We also use our voices to highlight the reality that health is mostly shaped by the conditions where people live, work, and play.

 

We focus our work in these areas:

Mental Health & Well-being

We aim to improve mental health and well-being by strengthening systems and supports for young people and removing systemic barriers in mental health overall.

Community Power Building

We support efforts that shift power dynamics to ensure that those most impacted are leading and deciding.

Policy & Systems Change

We support public policy changes that improve health and equity, and we work to elevate community voices and change narratives to address the root causes of inequities.
