Intersectoral Collaboration: Coming to the Table

Health Promotion Ontario

Join health promotion professionals as we explore techniques for Intersectoral Collaboration in the modern era.

Once again, Health Promotion Ontario is hosting its free annual webinar series. This year the theme is Health Promotion in a New Era: Skills we need for a changing world. If the past three years have taught us anything, it’s that we constantly need to innovate, adapt and overcome. In the years ahead, we will continue to face complex problems that require new approaches and upstream thinking. That’s why we’re focusing this series on key skills you’ll need now and into the future, to tackle the big issues ahead. This year, we’re doing things a little differently. This session will feature panelist presentations and discussions, but our panelists will reflect both traditional and non-traditional “health promoters”. We want everyone to see themselves as health promoters and to reflect on the ways in which they can contribute to advancing health and wellness.
