This panel explains why public health lawyers, social workers, health care providers, and educators are critical partners in creating safe, supportive, and just schools during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Specifically, this session addresses two “disrupters” to health equity: childhood adversity and racialized school disciplinary policies (punitive discipline and school policing); explores legal and policy solutions across disciplinary and professional silos; and offers recommendations for multi-disciplinary collaborations to advance the growing antiracist health equity agenda.
