Webinar Series on Anti-Black Racism and Public Health

In collaboration with the Black Health Education Collaborative, NCCDH is hosting an interactive three-part webinar series, focused on the ways in which anti-Black racism impacts health. Aiming to provide the Canadian public health community an important capacity building opportunity, and identifying opportunities for public health action, the series will shed light on racist policies and practices rooted in Canadian institutions including health care, education, and justice. As well as beliefs, attitudes, prejudices, stereotypes and discriminatory behaviours which lead to unequitable access, opportunities, and outcomes for Black people, with regards to healthcare. https://nccdh.ca/workshops-events/entry/webinar-series-on-anti-black-racism-and-public-health?mc_cid=2aa43be3c2&mc_eid=25d53becd5
