SUMMARY:Veer off vaping - advocating for e-cigarette regulation in WA webinar
DESCRIPTION:E-cigarettes have been readily available globally since 2006. Nicotine is an extremely toxic substance\, with liquid nicotine used in e-cigarettes posing a serious risk for young children in our society. If the popularity and access to e-cigarettes were to increase in Western Australia without legislative intervention and regulation\, injuries from e-cigarettes would undoubtedly increase in both occurrence and severity. To talk through the use of e-cigarettes\, its link to injury\, and the advocacy strategies that are currently underway in WA\, we will hear from the Make Smoking History team at Cancer Council WA in this one-hour online webinar hosted by Injury Matters. \nThis session aims to: \n\nIncrease knowledge of the link between vaping and injury\nIncrease awareness of current regulations on e-cigarettes in WA\nIncrease confidence in advocating for harm reduction with e-cigarette use in young people\n\nWho should attend? \nThis webinar is aimed at public health advocates\, health promotion professionals\, representatives from schools\, Not-for-profit or Local Government bodies\, metro health services and health professionals working in youth services\, organisations or programs. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Creating inclusive spaces for people with disability
DESCRIPTION:Individuals with disability have the right to access services and public spaces with ease and without discrimination. Inclusion is the best method to ensure people with disabilities are given the same opportunities to participate in society across social\, educational\, and employment settings. Social inclusion is particularly important for people with disability\, where lacking access to crucial health services and not being able to access social events can lead to adverse health effects and social exclusion\, which can lead to physical and mental injuries. \n\n23% of people with disability aged 15-64 have difficulty getting to places needed\n39% of people with disability are not satisfied with their local community\n1 in 6 (17%) people with disability aged 15-64 experience social isolation\n\nInclusive spaces for people with disability is important to consider\, especially in light of the upcoming International Day of People with Disability on 3rd December 2023. Injury Matters\, in partnership with Paraplegic Benefit Fund\, are hosting an informative webinar for health professionals\, organisations\, design planners and Local Government bodies who are planning for their upcoming International Day of People with Disability events. This webinar will explore ways to create inclusive spaces and events for people with disability. Inclusive spaces not only benefit organisations\, but also improve health outcomes for people with disability and prevent injury outcomes in WA. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Acting on the Commercial Determinants of Health for Injury Prevention
DESCRIPTION:Commercial determinants of health are the private sector activities that affect people’s health\, directly or indirectly\, positively\, or negatively; for example\, supply chains\, labour conditions\, product design and packaging\, research funding\, lobbying\, that impact a wide range of risk factors. Related to injury\, these include alcohol use\, physical activity\, injuries on roads and from weapons\, violence\, and mental health conditions. \nAs the Lancet Series on the Commercial Determinants of Health underlines\, many of the most significant risk factors for disease and injury – tobacco\, alcohol\, and unhealthy diet – are major industries and profit-drivers for some of the world’s biggest companies. It is time for a paradigm shift. Public health cannot and will not improve without action on the commercial determinants of health\, from the local to global level. New forms of public health governance are needed. \nThis workshop\, designed by Curtin University and in partnership with Injury Matters\, facilitated by Dr. Jonathan Hallett\, explores the impact of commercial determinants of health on injury outcomes in the WA population. The interactive workshop will also explore how to respond as a public health professional\, with advocacy strategies and case study activities. \nCourse Highlights \nCommercial Drivers: Explore the various commercial determinants of health within the injury prevention system in WA.\nEffective Advocacy: Learn strategies to effectively communicate and develop skills to represent public health interests persuasively and responsibly.\nFace-to-Face Workshop: Benefit from a hands-on three-hour workshop in Perth\, where expert facilitators will guide participants through interactive activities and real-world scenarios\, reinforcing key concepts and practices.\nExtended Online Support: Enjoy three months of access to valuable online resources\, including video tutorials\, reading materials\, discussion forums\, and interactive quizzes\, allowing you to continue learning at your own pace. \nWho should attend? \nThis course is ideal for early to mid-career injury prevention/health promotion/public health professionals\, environmental health officers\, community development officers\, and health promotion officers at Local Government bodies\, community health workers\, policy advocates\, and anyone involved in the injury prevention field in Western Australia. \n*This event has been rescheduled from November 2023 to February 2024. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT- Acting on the Commercial Determinants of Health for Injury Prevention
DESCRIPTION:Commercial determinants of health are the private sector activities that affect people’s health\, directly or indirectly\, positively\, or negatively; for example\, supply chains\, labour conditions\, product design and packaging\, research funding\, lobbying\, that impact a wide range of risk factors. Related to injury\, these include alcohol use\, physical activity\, injuries on roads and from weapons\, violence\, and mental health conditions. \nAs the Lancet Series on the Commercial Determinants of Health underlines\, many of the most significant risk factors for disease and injury – tobacco\, alcohol\, and unhealthy diet – are major industries and profit-drivers for some of the world’s biggest companies. It is time for a paradigm shift. Public health cannot and will not improve without action on the commercial determinants of health\, from the local to global level. New forms of public health governance are needed. \nBack by popular demand\, this workshop\, designed by Curtin University and in partnership with Injury Matters\, facilitated by Dr. Jonathan Hallett\, explores the impact of commercial determinants of health on injury outcomes in the WA population. The interactive workshop will also explore how to respond as a public health professional\, with advocacy strategies and case study activities. \nCourse Highlights \nCommercial Drivers: Explore the various commercial determinants of health within the injury prevention system in WA.\nEffective Advocacy: Learn strategies to effectively communicate and develop skills to represent public health interests persuasively and responsibly.\nFace-to-Face Workshop: Benefit from a hands-on three-hour workshop in Perth\, where expert facilitators will guide participants through interactive activities and real-world scenarios\, reinforcing key concepts and practices.\nExtended Online Support: Enjoy three months of access to valuable online resources\, including video tutorials\, reading materials\, discussion forums\, and interactive quizzes\, allowing you to continue learning at your own pace. \nWho should attend? \nThis course is ideal for early to mid-career injury prevention/health promotion/public health professionals\, environmental health officers\, community development officers\, and health promotion officers at Local Government bodies\, community health workers\, policy advocates\, and anyone involved in the injury prevention field in Western Australia. \nRegister here
