Looking for a continuing education opportunity where travel is not a barrier? Join our online health
promotion workshops to see how the Circle of Health can help to meet your needs and expand
your knowledge!
Workshop topics include: facilitation, teaching, planning & partnership development with the Circle
of Health, a health promotion framework and tool that provides a complete picture of the
components of health at a glance. Online workshops will be held weekly from October 24th
November 28th, 2013 (excluding October 31st). Participants can register for individual workshops
or receive a reduced rate for the whole series. Group rates are also available.
The Circle of Health is a planning tool that is inclusive, interdisciplinary, and interactive. It can be
used to bring people together to promote individual and community health. The Circle of Health
integrates concepts of health and wellness from the Ottawa Charter and the First Nations Medicine
Wheel with the components of health promotion planning: Needs, Strategies, Populations,
Determinants and Values. It is adaptable across sectors and inclusive of diverse, marginalized
communities. The Circle of Health is used as a teaching tool in Canadian universities and at the
Atlantic Summer Institute; as a framework to develop community-based active living programs and
health promotion initiatives; and much more.
