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.

sessions:
    * Planning Health Promotion Programs
