Building Capacity for Equity in Health Promotion - Part II - Promising Practice Directory |
1. Part 2: Promising Practice Directory
Thank you for submitting your practice for inclusion in our Promising Practice Directory. Here is some information that will help you fill out the survey.
This directory will highlight promising practices related to health equity for racialized communities in Ontario. These practices will inform the Building Capacity for Equity in Health Promotion project’s workshop content, case studies and other aspects of project development. Once completed, this directory will be of use to organizations, groups and individuals to support integration of a health equity approach into planning in order to reduce health disparities.
Scope
The directory will seek to include Promising Practices from the three priority areas of the project (healthy eating, physical activity, mental health promotion), from the three project audiences (public health, CHCs and community organizations) working with racialized groups, especially living in low income communities.
The term “practice” is broadly defined to include programs and services, broader initiatives, interventions, strategies, policies, advocacy, resources, tools, reports, practices, websites, etc. We do not wish to limit the nature of items that you may submit, so that we are able to assess the range of practices available.
We especially wish to encourage submissions from smaller community groups and agencies, including those run by volunteers, as these initiatives are not often included in more formal promising practice or “best practice” directories and inventories. We hope this project will be an opportunity to highlight the wealth of initiatives that we know are happening in the community.
The directory will have as its primary focus, Ontario-based resources and examples.
The directory will include resources as of March 31, 2010. Additions will be made, as necessary, as the project proceeds.
Please provide an individual submission for every practice
We would like to hear from as many groups as possible. If you are unable to access the electronic survey, please let us know. We would be happy to call you and complete the survey over the phone.
