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: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:Veer off vaping - advocating for e-cigarette regulation in WA webinar

SUMMARY:Breaking Barriers: multicultural communities in WA
DESCRIPTION:Western Australia (WA) has a rapidly increasing multicultural population\, made up of a variety of different cultural communities\, each with their own unique identity and experiences. With almost half of Australians having a parent born overseas (48.2%) and 27.6% of the population being born overseas themselves\, it is more important than ever to ensure health services and organisations are accessible to all. \nThe unique demographics of multicultural communities in WA and several contributing factors can increase the risk of injury within WA’s multicultural communities. The increased risk of injury can be explained by low levels of language proficiency\, different understandings of injury\, minimal support networks\, cultural shame\, and stigmatisation. Injury Matters explores these barriers with key leaders and health professionals in the multicultural injury prevention space in a practical and engaging workshop. \nWe will hear from: \n\nPearl Proud\, Lead. Senior Practitioner. from Culturally Diverse Psychological Service on the cultural\, social\, and psychosocial impact on the health of the multicultural community\,\nRachel Pearce\, Health Services Manager at Ishar on how to address health service access barriers as health professionals working in the health sector\,\nand Henrietta Podgorska\, Communications and Engagement Senior Manager at Umbrella Community Care Services Inc. explain the importance of partnership and collaboration\, and how to communicate difficult topics\, with practical tips for engagement.\n\nThe workshop training aims to: \n\nIncrease knowledge of cultural\, social\, and psychosocial barriers to accessing mainstream health services for multicultural communities in WA\nIncrease awareness of communication and partnership strategies when promoting a health service in multicultural communities\nIncrease skills in engaging culturally and linguistically diverse communities in WA\nIncrease confidence in ensuring your health service is inclusive for the multicultural community of WA\nIncrease knowledge of resources and key stakeholders in the WA multicultural community\n\nWho should attend? \nThe workshop is aimed at health professionals who work in local government\, not-for-profit organisations\, NGOs\, community services\, public health and health promotion professionals who work with multicultural communities in WA. \nInjury Matters Cancellation and Refund Policy \n\nParticipants may request a refund or transfer their registration to another person if they are unable to attend.\nCancellation or requests to transfer registration to another person must be received in writing by emailing info@injurymatters.org.au within three(3) working days of the workshop.\nNo tentative bookings will be accepted.\nNon-attendance or cancellations received within two (2) working days of the start of the workshop will incur the full fee.\n\nIf you are experiencing financial hardship but would like to attend this workshop\, please contact info@injurymatters.org.au so we can accommodate for your needs. \nMorning tea will be provided. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Youth alcohol and injury prevention forum
DESCRIPTION:Alcohol is the highest risk factor for injury. It increases the risk of violence\, intentional self-harm\, road crashes\, falls\, and drownings. Six ambulances are called to treat intoxicated West Australians aged 18 and younger every week\, with 12% of 12–17-year-olds being victims of an alcohol-related incident in 2019\, including verbal abuse\, physical abuse\, or being put in fear by someone under the influence of alcohol. The need to raise awareness of alcohol-related injury in WA has never been more important\, and communities want to understand how they can help prevent the early uptake of alcohol in young people. \nInjury Matters are holding a Youth Alcohol and Injury Prevention forum with a number of leading experts in the field to learn more about an effective community approach to modifying risk and protective factors for alcohol use within young people. We will hear from Professor John Toumbourou from Communities that Care\, Robert White from the Alcohol and Drug Foundation\, and the Safer Mandurah team talk about preventing harm from alcohol in the community. \nThis event aims to: \n\nIncrease knowledge of alcohol’s impact on injury in young people in WA\nIncrease awareness of risk and protective factors for alcohol use in young people\nIncrease awareness of evidence-based strategies and initiatives to prevent and reduce harm from alcohol to young people.\nIncrease knowledge and skills in implementing practical prevention-based strategies in the community\n\nWho should attend? \nThis forum is suitable for local government bodies\, stakeholders in the alcohol prevention space\, crime safety\, community development\, sports associations\, local sports clubs\, public health advocates\, policy and program coordinators/officers\, LDATs\, LDAGs\, metro and country health services\, and youth organisations/programs. \nThis forum can be attended online or in-person.

SUMMARY:COVID-19 impact on mental health in older adults
DESCRIPTION:COVID-19 has had an impact on the mental health and well-being of older adults in Western Australia. Social isolation is a continuing problem for older adults and may lead to loneliness. Social isolation is the absence of relationships with family and friends on an individual level and with society on a broader level. Good mental health contributes greatly to an overall feeling of well-being. Untreated mental health disorders in older adults can lead to diminished functioning\, substance abuse\, poor quality of life\, and increased mortality. \nJoin Injury Matters with guest speaker Deb Reveley from Brain Ambulance as we chat through the current evidence on the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of older adults in WA\, and the interventions we as health professionals can promote for healthy ageing and reducing the impact of social isolation. \nThis session aims to: \n\nIncrease awareness of the impacts of COVID-19 on the mental health of older adults in Western Australia.\nIncrease knowledge of the mental health issues facing older adults in Western Australia.\nIncrease knowledge of the interventions to promote healthy ageing and reduce the impact of social isolation and loneliness.\nIncrease knowledge of barriers for older adults seeking assistance and intervention.\nIncrease knowledge of referral points for older adults requiring intervention.\n\nWho can attend? \nThis webinar is suitable for public health and health promotion professionals\, mental health advocates and professionals\, aged care workers\, support workers\, allied health workers\, and community services or organisations that work with older adults in the community setting. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Dive into the data: Injury Epidemiology Online Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The role of epidemiology in public health has come to light recently due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However\, epidemiological information has always been a core construct of injury prevention due to its ability to characterise the occurrence of injury\, identify at-risk population groups and assist in evaluating injury prevention strategies. \nHow do we access and interpret epidemiological data? \nWA injury prevention practitioners are fortunate to have access to multiple sources of epidemiological data to assist in quantifying the impact of injury on the community\, however it can be challenging to interpret the various forms of data available. \nJoin Injury Matters with guest facilitator Dr Lauren Fortington\, from Edith Cowan University\, for the Dive into the data: Injury Epidemiology Online Workshop. Lauren is a Senior Research Fellow in injury epidemiology at ECU and a member of the Australasian Epidemiological Association. \nDuring the workshop Lauren will share her knowledge regarding interpreting epidemiological data\, to enable participants to understand the core constructs of data and apply it to their role. \nThis online workshop aims to: \n\nIncrease knowledge of the role of epidemiology in injury prevention.\nIncrease skills in interpreting epidemiological injury data.\nIncrease knowledge of how to access WA injury data.\nIncrease confidence to use epidemiological data to influence injury prevention initiatives.\n\nWho can attend? \nThis online workshop is suitable for anyone looking to clarify or grow their ability to interpret injury epidemiological data\, including; public health practitioners\, health promotion professionals\, local government workers\, WA Country Health staff\, recent environmental science graduates or undergraduate health science students. \nOnline workshop access requirements\nThis interactive workshop will be run on the Zoom Meeting Platform and will involve being placed in a breakout room to participate in a group activity and discussions.
