Workshop Overview
There is rising awareness that advancing equity is critical to public health and social justice practices, but it can be challenging to understand what this looks like in our everyday work. It is common to hear references to using a ‘health equity framework’ but if we are not clear on how to move from concept to practice, there is a barrier to advancing equity across our systems.
This workshop introduces participants to health equity core concepts, illuminating how racism, classism, and other types of oppression are root causes of health inequities. Experienced co-facilitators lead these dialogue-based, interactive sessions to explore strategies that advance equity in public health and social justice work.
Introduction to Equity in Action provides two 4-hour sessions that engage a small cohort through facilitated, interactive activities.
Build a shared vocabulary related to health equity and social justice core concepts.
Learn how to use a health equity framework in public health practice.
Advance meaningful dialogue about equity and oppression.
Identify opportunities to advance equity in our work and personal life.
Participants receive a copy of the book, Room at the Table: A Leader’s Guide to Advancing Health Equity and Inclusion, by Dr. Renée Branch Canady.
