Scenario

When public health work becomes adversarial with target populations

I love my work in school health but I spend more time arguing with anti-vaccine parents than actually improving health outcomes and I am starting to resent the families I wanted to serve.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Opposition from communities that public health aims to serve can transform helping relationships into adversarial ones and erode professional motivation.
