Les déterminants de la santé et les possibilités de mesures de santé publique : Parlons-en

Quels sont les facteurs qui influencent la santé? Et quelles sont les possibilités de mesures de santé publique intégrées et en réseau à plusieurs niveaux?  

Dans ce webinaire, les auteurs de Déterminants de la santé : Parlons-en décriront les déterminants structurels, sociaux et écologiques de la santé et réfléchiront aux forces et aux systèmes plus larges qui interagissent avec les conditions de la vie quotidienne. Une métaphore arborescente sera utilisée pour véhiculer ces termes et passer de la compréhension à la réflexion, puis à l’application de pratiques pour s’attaquer aux facteurs sous-jacents des iniquités en santé.

Let’s talk determinants of health and opportunities for public health action

This webinar is presented by the National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health as part of their "Let's Talk" series.

What are the factors that influence health? And, what are the opportunities for integrated, networked public health action at multiple levels?  

In this webinar, the authors of Let's Talk: Determinants of health will describe the structural, social and ecological determinants of health and reflect on the wider forces and systems that interact with the conditions of daily life to create health inequities. A tree metaphor will be used to convey these terms and move from understanding to reflection to application of practices to address the underlying drivers of health inequities.

CCR Consultation: Reclaiming Public Support: Building the Movement for Refugee and Migrant Rights

In what will likely be the last Consultation before a pivotal federal election, the CCR will work to draw in a wide cross-sectoral coalition, with the intention of building public and political support for refugees and newcomers. There is significant public support and strong values in Canada to welcome refugees and migrants, but this is being beaten down, and the public is being told it is waning. We need to reclaim this space and work towards maintaining and growing Canadian public support for policies that offer a meaningful future for refugees and (im)migrants

Public health action to transform food systems and advance food justice

This webinar is presented by the National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health (NCCDH).

Food systems are critical to health and well-being in Canada. The ways we produce, distribute, consume and waste food are linked to significant health inequities. The need to transform food systems toward healthier, more sustainable and just alternatives has never been more evident, and the movement for food justice has been gaining momentum – focused on ensuring culturally relevant, justly grown and nourishing food for all. 

 Join us on November 26, 2024 to explore the connections between food systems and health inequities and equip yourself with strategies to advance food justice.

Asset-Based Community Development 101

This event is presented by the Tamarack Institute

As the Tamarack Institute's final workshop of the year, this is your last chance to join Heather Keam and Wendy McCaig for Asset-Based Community Development 101.

# Participants will dive into:  

  • ABCD as a people-centered approach, focusing on strengths and not deficits or needs to develop programs and plans.   
  • Resources in a community, uncovering the six assets or resources that communities have that are used to enhance local well-being.   
  • Methods to find assets, since ABCD approaches are iterative and emergent.
  • The seven functions of a community, which are critical features of local, natural community work. They are bottom-up, hyper-local, and citizen-led. 

This workshop is geared towards those who are new to ABCD or those seeking a refresher, considering the significant evolution ABCD has undergone in the last decade.

2024-25 QIP Analysis Findings: Interprofessional Primary Care

This event is hosted by Ontario Health  

Each year, Ontario Health's Quality Improvement Plan team reads and analyzes the QIP submissions to get a better understanding of the work being done across the province and to highlight quality improvement work. 

We have heard from many organizations that better understanding of what the rest of the province is working on, and how, would be beneficial. 

To promote learning, the QIP team will be hosting sector-specific webinars where attendees will hear about the excellent improvement work from the 2024-25 QIP submissions. This information may also help to guide development of your 2025-26 QIPs.

The Interprofessional Primary Care Analysis Webinar will take place Thursday, December 12, 2024, at 12:00 pm.
