Best Start Resource Centre is pleased to present our fifth and final
regional workshop (in English) on "Playing it Safe: Service Provider
Strategies to Reduce Environmental Risks to Child Health". 

 

This workshop is for service providers who work in the areas of
preconception, prenatal and/or child health. This includes organizations
or groups that address environmental risks to child health including:
early learning practitioners, environmental action groups, health care
providers, health promoters and community development workers.

 

Important information will be shared about environmental risks to child
health, including environmental exposures at home, work, school and
outdoors, in the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the products we
use. The workshop will also provide simple child proofing tips and
service provider strategies to reduce the risks to preconception,
prenatal and child health. It will help you identify the risks of
highest concern in your community, and initiatives that will support or
enhance existing programming. 

 

Speakers: Kathleen Cooper, Senior Researcher at the Canadian
Environmental Law Association and Myriam Beaulne, Health Promotion
Coordinator for the Canadian Partnership for Children's Health and
Environment (CPCHE).
