Registration is open for the NNLM webinar “Homelessness and Inclusion Health”. It will take place on Thursday, July 20, from 2:00 to 3:00 PM CDT. Region 5 is the sponsor.
The interactions between homelessness and health are complex. Having a greater understanding of these interactions, of complex trauma, historical trauma including racism, and the negative effects of social exclusion on health is essential for librarians and others in supportive roles. Evidence-based interventions like inclusion health, health through housing, and health literacy supportive education, help to improve the health and life trajectories of people experiencing homelessness. Brief case studies and discussion of the role of librarians will be included in this presentation.
The presenter is Dr. Josephine Ensign, Professor at the University of Washington in Seattle. She teaches public health, health policy, and health humanities.
This is a Beginner-level class worth 1.00 hour of CE credit.
