SUMMARY:The Care Dividend: Investing in Childcare\, Mental Health & Longevity
DESCRIPTION:Overview \n\n\n\nA solutions-driven convening that makes the economic case for care. \n\n\n\nThe Care Dividend is a solutions-driven convening that makes the economic case for care: affordable childcare\, supported caregivers\, mental-health readiness\, and healthy longevity are not peripheral social issues. They are essential infrastructure for a thriving workforce\, healthier families\, and a stronger New York. \n\n\n\nWe will bring together approximately 75 health practitioners\, providers\, nonprofit leaders\, caregivers\, health-focused creators\, funders\, employers\, and policymakers for an evening of practical models\, data\, and human connection. \n\n\n\nPresented by Epicenter NYC and URL Media\, the convening will extend beyond the room through trusted\, community-rooted storytelling and multilingual distribution. \n\n\n\nWhy now\n\n\n\nCaregivers hold together households\, workplaces\, and communities—often without the systems\, information\, or support they need. At the same time\, New York is advancing new childcare investments while communities confront mental-health crises\, workforce shortages\, an aging population\, and uneven access to reliable health information. \n\n\n\nThe Care Dividend asks a clear question: What becomes possible when care is treated as an economic investment rather than a private burden? \n\n\n\nTopics / Guest Speakers will include: \n\n\n\n\nWill Holden (Gary Community Ventures) on narrative change around care. “Childcare Is Workforce Infrastructure”\n\n\n\nDr. Elizabeth Wong on childcare supply\, nontraditional hours\, and work-family policy. “Caregivers Circle: What Support Looks Like”\n\n\n\nMental Health 411: Recognizing Crisis\, Finding Help\, Building Readiness\n\n\n\n\nLunch will be served. \n\n\n\nJoin us for The Care Dividend and help imagine what becomes possible when care is recognized as an investment in our collective future. \n\n\n\n\nGet your ticket
