SUMMARY:FREE WEBINAR: July 21\, 2016 – The National Partnership for Action to End Health Disparities (NPA)
DESCRIPTION: \nYou are invited to a webinar hosted by the Federal Interagency Health Equity Team\nMultnomah County\, Oregon created The Equity and Empowerment Lens (with a racial justice focus) in 2012 to support the elimination of racial and ethnic disparities. The Lens is a quality improvement tool used to improve planning\, decision-making and resource allocation leading to more racially equitable policies and programs. Essentially\, the lens is a set of principles\, reflective questions and processes that focuses at the individual\, institutional and systemic levels by: \n\nDeconstructing factors that exacerbate health disparities;\nReconstructing and supporting factors that promote health equity;\nShifting the way we make decisions and think about this work; and<\nHealing and transforming our structures\, our environments\, and ourselves.\n\nThis webinar will introduce practitioners interested in the lens to discuss the application and outcomes of this analysis in their work. Application of the equity lens ensures that policies impact community outcomes\, and it creates the environment for candid dialogue about the root causes of inequities.\nThe presenter will discuss: \n\nThe role and obligation of government to address not just social environments but also one’s own practices and approaches;\nScenarios/circumstances that initiate conversation about implementing the Equity and Empowerment Lens;\nWays in which the tool has been adapted in various settings to enhance organizational capacity and build accountability.\n\nTOPIC: Equity and Empowerment Lens: A Tool to Create Equitable Policies and Programs\nSPEAKER: Ben Duncan\, Chief Diversity and Equity Officer and the Director of the Office of Diversity and Equity for Multnomah County\, Oregon\nDATE: July 21\, 2016 \nTIME: 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. PST (3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. EST) \nREGISTER HERE\nFull Abstract and Speaker Biographies \n
