What We Do

A passion for making a difference....

At Strategies for Equity and Communication Impact (SECI), we are driven by making a difference in people's health and lives. We believe in the importance of engaging communities and key stakeholders in health and social issues, so that we can help drive the kinds of behavioral and social results that our clients and partners are seeking, and that are needed to improve health and social outcomes.  We bring a global perspective to our work and speak the languages of multiple sectors and disciplines. We understand the complexity of health and social issues, and have in-depth expertise on the many determinants of health and well-being.

We are inspired by equity and social justice. We are passionate about helping empower our partners and clients to change systems, social norms, policies, and behaviors in order to address the health and social issues of our times, and ultimately help advance health, racial, and social equity.
