Introduction to Equity in Action

Workshop Overview (Registration Closes 8/14/24)

There is rising awareness that advancing equity is critical to public health and social justice practices, but it can be challenging to understand what this looks like in our everyday work. It is common to hear references to using a ‘health equity framework’ but if we are not clear on how to move from concept to practice, there is a barrier to advancing equity across our systems.

This workshop introduces participants to health equity core concepts, illuminating how racism, classism, and other types of oppression are root causes of health inequities. Experienced co-facilitators lead these dialogue-based, interactive sessions to explore strategies that advance equity in public health and social justice work.

Introduction to Equity in Action provides two 4-hour sessions that engage a small cohort through facilitated, interactive activities.
