Skills for Health Promotion - 4 half-day workshops
Toronto, Ontario May 30 and 31, 2007
New Introductory-Level Series of Workshops
In each introductory-level, half-day workshop, we begin with an overview
of health promotion concepts and terms. We will also briefly address the
"why" and "how" of each of the steps in THCU's recommended practice
models. The most challenging of the steps will be brought to life
through interactive exercises and small group discussions. Participants
will leave with a basic understanding of the steps and a thorough
understanding of where to access more information, tools and
personalized consultation services. The content can be applied to any
issue area.
THCU's step-models are based on syntheses of health promotion
literature, supplemented by our instructors' many years of health
promotion experience in Canada, and enriched by insights from our
participants. Our tools reflect our detailed understanding of what
practitioners need in order to engage in high quality health promotion
efforts. THCU materials and tools discussed during these workshops are
available free of charge at http://www.thcu.ca.
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, as well as managers or team leaders who train or
advise staff about evidence-informed processes, will find these sessions
useful.
