This webinar is presented by the Alliance for Healthier Communities with guests from Transform Practice.

Evaluation does not need to be alienating and boring! Join us for an invigorating dialogue with coauthors of this recent EPIC News feature and  research article. This webinar is open to all; however, it will be of particular interest to health promotion staff, managers, and community members as well as scholars with an interest in health promotion and community-based evaluation.

# Join us to: 

• Peek into participatory approaches that favour deeper community relationships and reciprocity.
• Remind yourself that joyful community engagements enhance team effectiveness.
• Discuss how evaluation choices impact your team’s healthy equity goals, and community accountabilities.
• Recharge your strategy for negotiating top-down funder requirements. 

This event will include plenary conversations and breakouts.

Note: In order to ensure a safe space for discussion, this webinar will not be recorded. However, a written summary will be shared with all participants.

Do simple tasks feel overwhelming? Do you feel isolated? Angry? Unexpectedly emotional? You’re not alone. Alongside the physical demands, caregivers often face complex emotions tied to grief and loss. This webinar, hosted with The Alzheimer Society of Ontario, will explore how these feelings manifest and how you can manage them.
