Please join us for the launch of Women's Health Circles resources
Date: March 31, 2009
Time: 9:30 am - 11:00 am
Location: Parliament Library
269 Gerrard St. East (just west of Parliament), Toronto
2nd floor, Community Room
Light refreshments will be served.
Women's Health Circles are:
* Collective education forums for women: participants determine
the health topics of discussion, engage with other women to learn from
each other's thoughts and experiences, ask questions of health and
social service providers and learn about community resources.
* Learning spaces for health and social service professionals:
health and social service professionals learn about the lived
experiences of women to create more appropriate and sensitive care
The Women's Health Circles Handbook demonstrates approaches from three
pilot sites to coordinating and conducting Health Circles and offers
examples to help you meet the needs of women in your community.
The Key to Women's Health: Stroke Resource Guide illustrates how to link
discussions on the social determinants of health or other topics chosen
by women attending Women's Health Circles to the risk factors, signs and
symptoms of stroke.
Hosted by the Ontario Women's Health Network, Inclusion Researchers and
project partners:
Women's Health Circles: Asset Mapping Research Project (AMRP) of the
Toronto Christian Resource Centre, Immigrant Women Services Ottawa,
