Dental Therapy Advocacy: Community Engagement Guide
Our oral health advocacy work is focused on creating a more equitable dental delivery system and supporting oral health policies that are grounded in principles of health equity and community engagement. This cannot happen if campaigns do not partner with, and center their advocacy on, issues vital to these communities.
As such, we are excited to share an advocacy resource on advancing community-centered oral health policy. The Dental Therapy Community Engagement Guide offers:
- General information about the importance of community engagement;
- Policy provisions that may require specific attentiveness around community engagement; and
- Guidelines and suggestions for advocates and funders on incorporating community engagement into dental therapy advocacy and campaign work.
