Training Sessions
Our engaging training sessions will equip you with the tools to conduct or participate in health-related research and initiatives focused on the best community-engaged research practices.
Our training sessions aim to co-construct action platforms with our community partners, academic partners, and anyone interested in community-engaged research and practice.
Our training sessions, rooted in our Principles of Partnership (see figure right), are built from emergent, community-led efforts. Our mission revolves around co-construction, so we encourage you to take the lessons you learn from our trainings to negotiate action plans in your community-academic partnerships to achieve health equity and social justice.
