Bridge for Health is proud to participate on the National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health (NCCDH) Let’s Talk series interactive webinar taking place on April 22nd 2014 at 10:00am PST, 1:00pm PST.
The webinar will highlight some important themes covered in the newly released report on ‘Let’s Talk….Populations and the power of language’, which explores the language public health practitioners and organizations use to label populations that are identified by their social, economic, geographic or other demographic characteristics.
Bridge for Health’s founder Paola Ardiles & Branka Agic from Ontario’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health’s Health Equity office are invited as Advisors on Tap to bring their experiences to this dialogue.
During this interactive webinar, participants will have a chance to: a) reflect on the values and assumptions underlying our choice of language in public health, and b) explore how terminology can support or hinder our efforts to reduce social & health inequities.
