#Overview

It has been recognised for decades by the global and public health community that the climate crisis is a health crisis, yet the opportunity to influence and affect change has not been fully realised.

This webinar, presented by the National Collaborating Centre for the Determinants of Health, will feature a panel of experts who are working in the 2SLGBTQI+ space to support community and public health action on inequities related to gender and sexual identity. This webinar will review foundational concepts and practical applications to support the Canadian public health. 

This webinar will be of interest to anybody looking to build individual and organizational capacity to improve health inequities for 2SLGBTQI+ populations, including health practitioners, professionals, policy makers and decision makers, instructors and educators, students and researchers and service providers. 

This webinar aims to equip teachers,caregivers, social workers and pediatriccare providers with the knowledge theyneed to take the appropriate action inprotecting girls in Canada from FGM/C.  Presented by the Flourish project at Women's Health in Women's Hands CHC.

Register to attend Ontario Health’s Mental Health and Addictions Centre of Excellence’s first webinar on the development of the Eating Disorders Provincial Program. Ontario Health is working with people with lived experience, service providers, and administrators to develop an accessible, standardized, evidence-based, and high-quality eating disorders system in Ontario.

The objectives of this webinar are to:

June is brain injury awareness month. Join Judy Gargaro, Matheus Wiest and Janelle Unger to discuss the intersectionality between falls and neurotrauma, evidence-based care pathways and targeted treatment approaches to prevent falls.

This family-led event will explore the intersection of familial poverty, childhood disability, and health outcomes. It will create an opportunity for families, health care professionals, and policy researchers to come together and share both their knowledge and lived experiences on equal footing to identify where we can partner to effect systemic change. Childhood disability is known to have a huge financial impact on families and children.

There is simply not enough data or awareness about the intersection of childhood disability with familial and personal lifelong financial challenges.

We want to change that.
