 Champions for Children's Environmental Health Train-the-Trainer Workshop
After the success of the 2009 Winnipeg workshops, the Canadian Partnership for Children's Health and the Environment (CPCHE) in collaboration with the Children's Health & Environment Partnership of Manitoba is offering an advanced two-day workshop.
The Champions for Children's Environmental Health Workshop aims to train professionals who work with children to lead workshops and educate others in their organizations and sectors on children's health and environment.
Participants in this workshop will be supported, resourced and equipped to teach others about environmental risks to child health including topics such as environmental exposures in food, indoor and outdoor air quality, and products and play materials. Over the course of the workshop, participants will be trained on presenting this information to different audiences. This workshop will be of interest to child care and health practitioners who work in the areas of preconception, prenatal, child and family health.
