Lead Prevention for CHWs Networking Gathering

Lead poisoning is a serious environmental justice, tenants’ rights, and public health issue. Lead exposure at any level can cause permanent effects in children and adults. The good news is that it’s preventable!

Since 1992, the Childhood Lead Action Project has worked to eliminate childhood lead poisoning in Rhode Island through parent support, community education, and advocacy.

Laura Brion, Executive Director, Childhood Lead Action Project will speak to how CHWs can inform their clients about lead and connect them to the services that can prevent lead poisoning!
