be "Social Justice: Putting its attributes into practice for Health Promotion"
with Dr. June Webber of the Canadian Nurses Association.
Workshop description:
Social justice has been identified as a founding pillar of public health anda
critical goal of social progress. This session, suitable for all conference
participants, will provide an overview of an initiative spear-headed by the
Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) to support its commitment to social justice.
The initiative will be described including the approach taken by CNA to advance
the project, to describe how organizations define and monitor social justice,
the process toward the development of ten guiding attributes and the
development of several resources, a decision-tree and social justice gauge that
assist in assessing policy and program documents. As part of the workshop,
participants will work with these two resources to enable familiarization and
practice with the concepts and tools.
