C3EN Team Member Highlight: Molly Martin
When I started my career, community-based participatory research was new, and my mentors were concerned that my research approach with community partners would not work. But it did! Together with my community partners, we generated useful research results that influenced programs, policies, and lives.

Happy New Year from the Chicago Chronic Condition Equity Network! As we enter our third year as a center, we celebrate the process of sharing knowledge and working together as a diverse and growing body of researchers and community-based organizations.
C3EN Hosts Second Annual Meeting

There’s a variety of reasons why Asian Americans have been too invisible. Some of it is that the data are not collected or, or that granular data that divides Asians across different subgroups often are not collected. Some of it is being treated as the other, always being a perpetual foreigner, or even as the model minority myth—it’s another way of making invisible the heterogeneity within the Asian population.

There’s been a lot of stigma about mental health conditions, especially in communities of color, because we have centuries of experience of having to pretend we’re okay — even when we’re not — because it kept us safe. Because we’ve had to be so protective has meant that we have not gotten the services that we need and that we deserve.
Aunt Martha’s Receives $9 million grant
Congratulations to C3EN partner Aunt Martha’s Health and Wellness on receiving a $9 million grant from philanthropist Mackenzie Scott’s charity fund, Yield Giving!

The ecosystem here in Chicago is so unique, and the community development world is such a strong rich world. I want our community-based organizations like GAGDC to play more of a key strategic role just as our great colleges and universities and health systems have.
