What is the Children’s Health & Environment Partnership?
The Children’s Health & Environment Partnership is a group of organizations that are concerned about how the environment affects the health of children. Our aim is to get this information to:
  • parents and families
  • teachers and day care workers
  • health professionals such as health educators, technicians, doctors and nurses
  • people who make decisions about health, the environment, and children’s products, such as government officials and civil servants
  • anyone who is interested in the health of our children and our environment.
Five Manitoba-based organizations came together to examine how the environment affects children and explore opportunities to work together in the areas of health, environment and child care.  This group of organizations are now partnering to make the environment safer for children. Our activities and projects build on the work carried out by other groups across North America.
The Children’s Health & Environment Partnership has four goals:
  • To generate a network with the capacity and infrastructure to advance the state of children’s environmental health in Manitoba.
  • To empower changes in behaviour through targeted health promotion and social marketing to caregivers, parents and the general public.
  • To create awareness of children’s environmental health among health care practitioners and help them to prevent harm.
  • To promote a participatory and precautionary approach in decision-making affecting children’s health and development.
