We Are Chaffee: Looking Upstream is a human-forward, conversational podcast based in Chaffee County, Colorado. It is part of the We Are Chaffee storytelling initiative. Underlying these stories on Looking Upstream are what are known as “upstream health factors.” These are factors related to housing and living conditions, social inequities, and many related policies and systems. And it’s about how those upstream factors lead to downstream consequences on social behaviors and health, and ultimately the connectedness and wellbeing of all of us as a community. The We Are Chaffee: Looking Upstream podcast is a collaboration with the Chaffee County Departments of Public Health and Housing, and is supported by the Colorado Public Health & Environment: Office of Health Disparities. You can see show notes, read show transcripts, and learn more about the Looking Upstream podcast (and related storytelling initiatives) at wearechaffee.org, and on Instagram and Facebook @wearechaffee.
