Cross Street Training and Academic Center plans to work with church leaders and congregants to participate in legislative advocacy. Congregants often turn to their churches when struggling with health care challenges or other crises, and Cross Street Training and Academic Center’s previous work has identified a need for black church leaders to organize their congregations to engage in legislative advocacy. This coalition will work on: 1) policies related to community health workers; 2) protecting current Medicaid supports and funding levels; 3) reducing the use of emergency rooms in New Britain, Hartford, and Middletown by promoting community-based behavioral health services and preventive care.
