9am-1pm
In this half-day, virtual training, participants will begin to explore the important intersection of race and how it intersects with health. Many times, race and health are discussed separately, but this training dives into the important interconnected nature of social categorizations, such as race, class, and gender, as they apply to a given individual or group, regarded as creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage. Participants will explore these topics and their impact on the health of Michigan’s populations of color.
Intended Audience: All interested persons are welcome to apply to attend update training courses. Applicants who are employed and/or volunteering at a State-funded agency may receive priority for course placement.

Attendance log-in and out times will be monitored. Do not plan to arrive late or leave early.

Late arrivals will not be permitted to enter the virtual training and will result in a no-call/no-show for training attendance; supervisors will be notified.
