The Title V Federal Block Grant was established in 1935 to create Federal/State partnerships to address health service needs of mothers, infants and children. This grant is funded by the Health Resources Service Administration Maternal and Child Health Bureau and provides funding to public health departments in all 50 states and 9 jurisdictions (DC, U.S. territories, and freely associated states). According to HRSA, in 2023, this block grant supported services to an estimated 59 million people nationwide, including 94% of all pregnant women, 98% of infants and 59% of children, including those with special health care needs.
Title V agencies working in injury and violence prevention must address a broad range of topics across many populations and often face a myriad of challenges to accomplish this work, including sufficient funding and workforce capacity. The ability to effectively partner with other federally funded organizations and programs is essential for Title V agencies to accomplish their goals. In this webinar, Title V and Injury & Violence Prevention leaders will discuss their strategies, insights, and lessons learned by navigating these partnerships.
This event, on April 22nd at 3 PM Eastern Time, is led by the Children’s Safety Now Alliance (CSN-A), consisting of leaders and experts representing national organizations, federal agencies, state health departments, hospitals, and universities who help lead the Children’s Safety Network’s (CSN) efforts to reduce fatal and serious injuries among infants, children and adolescents.
