Engaging and Empowering Communities: Health Equity in Action
Tuesday, March 21, 2017, 01:00pm - 04:00pm

Note: This is a previous training. Please watch the webinar here

Topics: Identify unintended barriers in engaging diverse communities; enhancing engaging of diverse communities

Description: Creating health equity requires the prioritization of work that engages and empowers communities experiencing disparities related racial, economic, gender and social determinants. Most community health projects struggle with the issue of engaging diverse communities in the work of mainstream coalitions. There are numerous barriers to such engagement, some conscious, and some unconscious. Race, class, and cultural communication styles all influence the ways in which diverse communities relate to planning and implementation activities. Building upon the Introduction to Equity in Community Building webinar, this session will delve deeper into the common barriers to engaging diverse communities in the work of mainstream coalitions, and how to think collaboratively about ways to effectively engage diverse populations/communities in efforts.
