Women’s Healthy Environment Network session at SusCamp 2008
Kerri Brock’s unedited session from SustainabilityCamp 08: Action for Prevention: How to Mobilize a Community Grass Roots Style.
Session abstract:
The Women’s Healthy Environments Network is a grassroots organization with values rooted in collaboration, coalition and partnership.
The strength of this organization comes from its vigilant service to the community. WHEN is on the front lines of health issues such as cancer prevention, reproductive health and children’s neurological and respiratory conditions.
Access to community dialogue furthers the important work WHEN does with researchers and educators who develop and disseminate scientific and medical information which inform our policy makers to adopt sustainable and responsible practices.
WHEN leverages a series of traditional and contemporary business models to achieve its mission.
This session is intended to stimulate a discussion about:
- Health impacts of environmental toxicity
- Local Natural Resources
- Households
- Alternative Solutions
- How WHEN connects to Our Communities?
- The 4 P’s of Environmental Health Promotion
