A team of community members from a variety of fields and backgrounds came together as a Community Learning and Leadership Circle (CLLC) to design and develop the assessment. CLLCs are led by representatives of the community with lived experience. These groups identified community issues that they wanted to learn more about and Healthy Archuleta responded by providing speakers and resources to promote community education. For example, the Community Learning and Leadership Circle in Spanish -- called círculo de liderazgo y aprendizaje de la comunidad, or “CLAC en Español” for short is made up of monolingual and bilingual Spanish-speaking members of the community. This group focuses on issues that are of concern to Spanish-speaking members of the community and has promoted language equity actions, enrollment in health insurance plans for Spanish-speaking families and bullying prevention, among other actions. Centering those with lived experience ensures that equity is front and center in the NS|HE approach, with affected community members leading the process and prioritizing actions that will be more impactful for closing equity gaps in the community. In this way, Healthy Archuleta is following the momentum and energy of the community through deep listening and elevating community concerns. This is the basis for creating action strategies around health care access and nutrition security.
