Notices from the Health Promotion Forum: July 2020
Kia ora and greetings. As HPF celebrates Matariki and, welcomes in the New Year we are pleased to announce that we will be launching a new series of webinars from next month.
These webinars follow a series of webinars HPF converted from our face-to-face workshops during Covid-19 and to which the response was overwhelming! The webinars will cover Maori, Pacific and international topics as well as health promotion tools and resources.
HPF's online courses on Determinants, Māori health promotion, Pasifika health promotion, and mainstream health promotion are also just a click away.
And remember we want to promote our members' work, we want to tell your stories, promote your events/courses and advertise any vacancies you may have in health promotion in our notice/newsletter and social media platforms. We will be in touch with you shortly with more details.
Be sure to check our Facebook page and website for regular updates on these webinars and topical stories and messages. And remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel for the latest webinars and other videos.
