OPHA Keeping Kids Healthy Webinar Series Part 1: Developing Cross-sector Partnerships

Описание: Keeping Kids Healthy through Collective Impact Webinar Series

The Ontario Public Health Association is hosting a webinar series as part of the Keeping Kids Healthy through Collective Impact Project.

The Keeping Kids Healthy through Collective Impact project is being led by OPHA in collaboration with partners including the alPHa-OPHA Health Equity Work Group, the Alliance for Healthier Communities, the Association of Family Health Teams of Ontario, Children’s Mental Health Ontario, Ontario Municipal Social Services Association, Propel Centre for Population Health Impact and Public Health Ontario.

Working in a partnership often involves a cross-sector of people from diverse professions, backgrounds and experiences representing different sectors (e.g., education, health care, municipal, non-profit, public health and recreation) to network, coordinate, cooperate, and collaborate for mutual benefits. Developing and sustaining these types of partnerships takes time and effort. In this webinar, we will share the results of a primary study conducted to understand the facilitators, strategies and barriers when working in a cross-sector partnership. Key findings will be shared and three implications for practice highlighted. Participants will also have the opportunity to engage in a facilitated discussion.

This webinar will be of interest to anyone working in or leading a cross-sector partnership.

Learning objectives:

At the end of this webinar, participants will:

Recognize facilitators and barriers for developing cross-sector partnerships.
Identify at least one strategy for the effective development of cross-sector partnerships.
Reflect how the information can be applied to their own context.
