All In is a Campaign to inform millions of people in the school community who are uninsured about health coverage options and to help them enroll. Teachers for Healthy Kids has collaborated with the All In campaign to help shape the campaigns’ usability by schools and to share the All In Tool Kit now available at allinforhealth.org. The ALL IN toolkit includes four documents: the Game Plan for School Leaders, the Fact Sheet for School Leaders, Fact Sheet for Families, and the Informational Wallet Card. The tool kit is designed specifically for school, child-care, and after-school providers with a simple 1-2-3 step process – download, print, and distribute! Visit allinforhealth.org to access the All In Took Kit in Spanish.  The Tool Kit will be available in other languages soon.

Teachers for Healthy generally works to connect individuals and agencies to the available resources they need.  Occasionally we find that the resources we’re looking for do not exist or are not available in the format we are looking for.  The THK Eligibility Flyer was created to quickly illustrate exactly what the eligibility parameters are for subsidized coverage options and to outline the essential benefits that will be a part of all health plans under the Affordable Care Act. If you are looking for a specific resource to use for outreach and/or enrollment and cannot locate it, please contact us.  We may be able to help find what you are looking for or develop something to fit the needs of your school.
