NEPHTC Celebrates Black History Month!

NEPHTC is recognizing Black History Month this February to honor the accomplishments and history of Black Americans. The theme for Black History Month 2023 is Black Resistance. We want to highlight these two recent and relevant trainings from the Maine Public Health Association about racism and Black history in Maine:

• The History and Contemporary Reality of Black Communities in Maine
• Race as a Social Construct in Data and Practice

We also have these other great webinars related to anti-racism and health equity:

• An Equity Guided Approach to Public Health for Leaders at All Levels
• An Anti-racist Imperative for Public Health Data
• Calling In, Not Calling Out
• Trauma-Informed Conversations
