THCU Presents
Skills for Health Promotion
Introductory-Level Workshops
|
Expand your health promotion toolkit for any health issue
Expand your health promotion toolkit for any health issue. These introductory-level full-day workshops cover the basics of THCU's recommended step models.
In each workshop:
- we begin with an overview of key concepts and terms
- we briefly address the 'why' and 'how' of each step
- we bring the most challenging steps to life through interactive exercises and small group discussions
- we discuss "on the job" challenges identified by participants, and to close
- we identify quality sources of more information, tools and personalized consultation services
|
|
Who these workshops are for:
|
|
We recommend these sessions for
- anyone new to health promotion seeking definitions, tools, resources and organized approaches to practice.
- front line staff that need to choose, plan, implement and evaluate health promotion programs and services.
- managers or team leaders who train or advise staff or volunteers about theory and evidence-informed processes.

All others will be placed on a waiting list and notified if space becomes available.

We also offer consultations in Ontario to assist with specific health promotion projects or challenges. Service request forms are available online.

THCU’s step-models are based on syntheses of health promotion literature, supplemented by our consultants' many years of health promotion experience in Canada, and enriched by insights from our participants. Our tools reflect our detailed understanding of what practitioners need in order to engage in high quality health promotion efforts. THCU materials and tools discussed during these workshops are available free of charge on our website.
