recommended step models.

> * then briefly address the 'why' and 'how' of each step,
> * then bring the most challenging steps to life through
> interactive exercises and small group discussions,
> * then discuss "on the job" challenges identified by participants,
> and to close,
> * identify quality sources of more information, tools and
> personalized consultation services.
> Who these workshops are for:
> We recommend these sessions for
> * Anyone new to health promotion seeking definitions, tools,
> resources and organized approaches to practice.
> * Front line staff that need to choose, plan, implement and
> evaluate programs and services.
> * Managers or team leaders who train or advise staff about theory
> and evidence-informed processes.

> organizations. All others will be placed on a waiting list and
> notified if space becomes available. If you have a question about your
