Centering Community Voices: Collaborative Prevention Strategies with BIPOC Communities
February 13 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm
Centering Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging in Primary Prevention Series
Collaborative Prevention Strategies with black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) Communities is part of ABHPC’s Centering Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging in Primary Prevention series. “A healthy community is a place where people provide leadership in assessing their own resources and needs, where public health and social infrastructure and policies support health, and where essential public health services, including quality health care, are available” (McKenzie, Pinger & Seabert, 2018, p. 5.). But how often are BIPOC leaders marginalized within their own communities and their agency stripped away? How often are historically disenfranchised communities scolded for taking their health in their own hands?
This interactive session will share some of the history of how BIPOC communities have been subdued in addressing their own health issues. Participants will discuss various strategies to engage and collaborate with such communities on their terms. The presented case examples will be analyzed for best practices and replication within the sphere of influence of attendees.
The recommended skill level for Centering Community Voices: Collaborative Prevention Strategies with BIPOC Communities is for intermediate prevention professionals.
Key Objectives:
- Understand the history of BIPOC community marginalization in healthcare
- Learn strategies to engage and collaborate effectively
- Analyze case examples for best practices in your sphere of influence
Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for this ABHPC training are offered by the Center for Applied Research Solutions (CARS) at no cost to you. Information about how to request no-cost CEUs will be provided during the training.
