Whom do we serve?

We work with health promoters to help you do your work better. By health promoters we include not just people with "health promotion" in their job title or those who have academic training in health promotion. Rather, using the definition developed by the Ontario Health Promotion Resource System, we define health promoters to include all individuals who contribute to or utilize health promotion practice. This includes professionals, service providers, individuals working in a related field who integrate health promotion into their work (e.g. recreation, nursing, housing), community-based activists and volunteers. In other words, we work with health intermediaries - people who work with people to improve their health. If you are such a health promoter, we may be able to serve you.

What services do we provide?

Based on the specific request we receive, we can provide any combination of tailored consultations, customized training programmes and learning events. We also have a strong information and resource component, including e-bulletins. We can also network you with and refer you to other initiatives and resources that may be of help.

We provide our services across Ontario in both English and French. Most of our services are free of cost.

How do we work?

Our experienced staff helps you assess your situation, assets and capacities, needs and priorities, and tailors responses to suit your needs. This enables you to strengthen your vision about health promotion, think through and assess issues. Working together, we assist you to build on what is working well, develop better practices, and implement strategic solutions.
