Trainings, Tools & Certificates of Completion

Through MLPB’s Unlocking Access training series, partners learn about peoples’ legal rights, risks, and remedies, and the historical and contemporary policies that shape them. Team members are equipped with role-specific guidance on how they can partner with people to meet health-related social need priorities before they become crises.

MLPB partners can access a monthly web-based livestream and recording through the Unlocking Access Hub. The Hub contains complementary tools, templates, and resources to guide effective problem-solving.
