#Overview

How can health promotion address the complex health problems of today and in the future?

Health Promotion Ontario (HPO) presents “Health Promotion - The Future is Bright”, a new webinar that will shine light on the value and relevance of health promotion in creating a robust and sustainable health system needed today. This webinar will focus on the “heart” of health promotion and the necessary practices to effectively prevent disease, promote wellness, and address inequities that lead to poor health outcomes.

This webinar will review the current evidence and provide some clinical pearls of wisdom on how exercise can help to reduce the risk of falls. Dr. Ziebart specializes in working with people with osteoporosis, so specific guidelines will be shared on how exercise can help to reduce the risk of falls and fractures in the osteoporotic population. However, a broader perspective will also be discussed to make sure we reduce falls in all older adults. There will be time for questions so you can ask about how you can personalize your exercise programs and policies to reduce falls risk.

The National Collaborating Centre for the Determinants of Health is launching their fourth and final COVID-19 Conversation Series, Shifting worldviews: Stories about advancing equity and justice, in October 2023. 

Story 2: Overcoming organizational challenges to advance equity

In this session, we will hear from organizations who have collaborated in Belleville, Ontario to create and sustain a drop-in centre. We will hear about insights from these partnerships and relationships, and ways in which these organizations have been able to overcome barriers like uncertainty, fear and risk aversion.
