Enhanced practitioner knowledge and skills nationwide through conferences and webinars.
Prevention Institute staff shared our work and approach with practitioner audiences at conferences and webinars, including the National Association of County and City Health Officials Annual Meeting, the Texas Annual Prevention Providers Meeting, the Safe States Annual Injury & Violence Prevention Conference, the California Public Health Convening on Strategies for Firearm Violence Prevention, and with Healthy Places by Design. Additionally, PI staff presented at the American Public Health Association’s (APHA) Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, in early November. APHA is one of the largest annual gatherings of public health professionals from multiple sectors across the country, and provides a valuable opportunity to share lessons learned, generate new ideas and relationships, and look ahead to the future. The theme was “Making the Public's Health a National Priority.” PI staff presented on the following topics:
- People, Parks, and Power: Investing in community power building in Black, Indigenous, and Latine communities to advance health equity (poster)
