Please share this information! PHFE WIC Program (Official) is not part of the public charge. #publicchargeJudges in three states have blocked the Trump administration's public charge rule nationally. The rule will NOT go into effect today as anticipated. Immigrant families should continue getting the health and nutrition services that they need.
Like all children, children in immigrant families benefit when they have access to programs like WIC. WIC is NOT impacted by the new public charge rule. Food assistance programs like WIC, free/reduced school meals, and food pantries continue to be safe to use for immigrant families.

Jueces en tres estados han bloqueado la regla de carga pública de la administración de Trump a nivel nacional. La regla NO entrará en vigencia hoy como se anticipó. Las familias inmigrantes deberían continuar recibiendo los servicios de salud y nutrición que necesitan.
Al igual que todos los niños, los niños de familias inmigrantes benefician cuando tienen acceso a programas como WIC. El Programa de WIC NO es afectado por la nueva regla de carga pública. Los programas de asistencia alimenticios como WIC, comidas escolares gratuitas/reducidas y despensas de alimentos son programas seguros y pueden seguir siendo usados por familias inmigrantes.

Almost 90% of suspects arrested for any form of homicide in #California in 2018 were male, a disparity that has not changed much over the decades, even as the number of homicides declined. “I think that goes deep to the issue of how we raise our boys to be men, goes deeply into values that we tend to hold dear: power, dominance and aggression over empathy, care and collaboration.” via Kaiser Health News ow.ly/ij8G50wFaD7 #publichealth #gunviolence
When Masculinity Turns ‘Toxic’: A Gender Profile Of Mass Shootings

Men are far more likely than women to commit deadly mass shootings, both in California and across the nation. We break down the numbers — and ask experts why gender would have a role in indiscrimin…Research has long shown that adverse childhood experiences can lead to depression and other health problems later in life. Now, a new study published in JAMA Pediatrics, suggests that positive relationships in childhood may have lasting effects on people's mental health into adulthood, acting as a buffer against the effects of trauma and abuse. "Every moment matters," study author Christina Bethell said. "Every interaction with a child has a reaction in that child. Even as we keep working to address the many social and cultural factors we need to address to prevent negative experiences, we should be focused on proactive promotion of the positive." ow.ly/npOJ50wCC1A

Researchers asked adults to reflect back on their happy childhood memories. They found those who recalled more were less likely to have depression in adulthood and had more supportive relationships.In this op-ed, The New York Times writer Spencer Bokat-Lindell challenges fat-shaming as a strategy for reducing obesity, noting that weight stigma is counterproductive to public health efforts and can be harmful to people with obesity. (Research from the UConn Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity bolsters this argument.) Bokat-Lindell details factors, like the food environment and food policy, that are more strongly linked to body weight. In fact, in 2017, The New England Journal of Medicine published the most comprehensive study ever conducted on global obesity, whose main driver, the authors suggested, was the food environment. ow.ly/tznu50wBgYk #obesity #publichealthepidemic
