Cross-Sector Collaboration - Easy to Say, Challenging to Do: An Introduction to PHRASES (on-demand webinar)

Note: This is a recording of a webinar held on February 25, 2019.

Training Overview
Forward-thinking public health professionals are reaching across sectors to build healthier communities. Many leaders in other sectors do not understand the value of collaborating with public health. PHRASES (Public Health Reaching Across Sectors) is designing the PHRASES Toolkit to provide evidence-based framing tools and resources to help public health professionals communicate and collaborate more effectively with other sectors. During this webinar, Maureen Byrnes of PHRASES and Melissa Monbouquette of the de Beaumont Foundation will share information about this upcoming toolkit and how public health practitioners will be better equipped to successfully advance partnerships with hospitals, housing, education, and the business sectors.

The course contains two modules: a content module and a resources and evaluation module. After accessing both modules, learners will earn a certificate of completion. When the certificate is available, learners will see a Certificate button on their dashboard.

This recording is approximately 90 minutes. There are no prerequisites. Participants will need a broadband internet connection (Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox are preferred browsers) and computer speakers. For technical support, please contact emoryphtc@emory.edu.
