Move2Health Equity Coalition received the CATCH grant from the Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth. Through the grant we were able to teach nutrition and healthy eating to pre-k to 5th graders in the area!
For 25 years, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Community Access to Child Health (CATCH) program has supported pediatricians in collaborating within their communities to advance the health of all children. CATCH grants support pediatric residents and pediatricians in planning or implementing community-based child health initiatives. The CATCH program has provided almost 10 million dollars through 842 planning, 585 resident, and 305 implementation grants to >1700 pediatricians.1

Community Photovoice Project
The Community Photovoice Project was sponsored by Move2Health Equity as a pilot project with a Teen Health Spring Break Camp. The Community Photovoice Project became part of the Blue Ridge Health District’s MAPP2Health Supplemental Report later in 2019.
The photos below are from community members that participated in the project. Participants were asked to take photos that represented: assets, well-being, and resilience in their communities.
For more information about the Photovoice Project head to page 58 of the 2019 MAPP2Health Report.
