Nurturing Matters will feature experts in child development and share the findings from a Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)-funded knowledge synthesis answering the question:

What are the population health interventions that public health can realistically implement to support optimal child wellbeing (social, emotional, and cognitive) from the prenatal period through infancy to the end of the first year of life?

The knowledge synthesis explores evidence-informed, population-based approaches to improving child development outcomes that can be used to guide future programming.

Hear from the research team and other experts in child development, knowledge synthesis and public health in Canada.  Speakers include: Stuart Shanker (York University), Nicole Letourneau (University of Calgary), Brenda Smith-Chant (Trent University), Cyndi Gilmer (Trent University), Jean Clinton (McMaster University), Peel Public Health:  David Mowat, Anne Fenwick, Judy Buchan, Claudine Bennett, Melanie Gillespie along with representatives from CIHR, and the Center on the Developing Child, Harvard University.

Join leaders in public health, research, early child development and maternal and infant care in shaping the future of parenting and early child programming. Using participatory methods of professional facilitator Jo Nelson, guests will explore how the findings from the knowledge synthesis can be applied in real-world interventions.

At the dawn of the 21st century, climate change is considered one of the most serious threats facing humanity today. Although plagued by unknowns and uncertainties, Canadians can expect a more variable climate and as a direct result, most experts now agree that climate change will have far reaching effects on public health. Public health practitioners and emergency management officials have begun to develop plans and practices that are reflective of the possible climate health impacts. This webinar will review current regional perspectives including flooding and forest fires to provide public health and health care providers and researchers with information and tools to optimise program planning.

Description:

À l’aube du 21e siècle, les changements climatiques sont considérés comme l’une des plus grandes menaces auxquelles nous faisons face aujourd’hui. Malgré toutes les incertitudes, les Canadiens peuvent s’attendre à un climat plus variable. Comme conséquence directe, la plupart des experts s’entendent pour dire que les changements climatiques auront une incidence importante sur la santé publique. Les professionnels de la santé publique et les fonctionnaires de la gestion des urgences ont commencé à élaborer des plans et des mesures qui reflètent les effets possibles du climat sur la santé. Ce webinaire examinera les perspectives régionales actuelles, y compris les inondations et les incendies de forêt, en vue d’offrir aux professionnels de la santé publique, aux fournisseurs de soins de santé et aux chercheurs des renseignements et des outils qui leur permettront d’optimiser leur planification de programmes.
