Webinar Slides
Description:
Our shared goal in public health is to assure the conditions for optimal health for all people, and yet we know there are systems of structured inequity that unfairly disadvantage some and unfairly advantage others as they also sap the strength of the whole society by creating barriers to health for many people in our country. Join us for an engaging and insightful webinar where leading experts will delve into the pressing issue of health and racial equity work in the face of current challenges. Our distinguished panel of speakers, along with our experienced moderator, will explore strategies to maintain momentum and communicate effectively in support of communities where everyone can thrive.
The discussion will open with the definition of health equity and the principles required to achieve it, focusing on valuing all individuals equally, recognizing historical injustices, and providing resources based on need, and will ground us in the historical context of the current moment. With anticipated moratoriums on equity work and challenges to both funding and staffing, we hope this discussion will provide participants with the knowledge and tools to stay motivated and purposeful in our efforts through strategic communications, the role of narrative strategy, and ways to elevate the influence of community groups. How to continue doing equity work without making it a target. Also, how to measure progress on and impact of equity work.
This webinar will offer valuable perspectives and practical advice for anyone involved in or passionate about advancing health and racial equity initiatives
