Excerpted from Legal Problem-Solving and Flourishing: A Handbook for Perinatal and Early Childhood System-Builders
In 2022, our Early Childhood Learning Community generated Legal Problem-Solving and Flourishing: A Handbook for Perinatal and Early Childhood System-Builders, available in English on MLPB’s website. This Handbook includes ten (10) tools that can enable integration of legal problem-solving as an element of family-centered care. Here, we share the ten tools in translated form. The four sets of translated materials are geared to some language communities based in Orange County, CA; the state of Rhode Island; and Boston, MA.’

In this Health Affairs blog, MLPB CEO Samantha Morton describes how cutting-edge communities of care are embracing collective responsibility by systematically incorporating legal information and rights education into social care planning and delivery.
“Encouraging communities of care to integrate legal information and rights education is an important and underleveraged strategy to advance health justice.”
This recently published commentary in the Rhode Island Medical Journal was a collaborative effort from MLPB and Care Transformation Collaborative – Rhode Island. To advance quality and impact of social care, organizations and systems should break down silos of knowledge and problem-solving pathways. Welcoming legal education and problem-solving insight within the community health workforce is an important first step.
