2025 Practitioner Workshop
Using Health in All Policies to Maximize Outcomes
Virtual, Wednesday & Thursday, April 9 & 10, 11:30 am - 1:30 pm ET
SOPHIA’s fourth virtual Practitioner Workshop, Using Health in All Policies to Maximize Outcomes, will be held April 9th and 10th, 2025, 11:30 am - 1:30 pm ET each day.
The workshop will feature a exploration of HiAP strategies, a session about built environment grant project evaluation, lightning talks discussing measuring and implementing HiAP activities, and time to troubleshoot thorny of-the-moment HiAP issues with your peers.
Participants will have time to connect with other attendees and share successes and frustrations. SOPHIA is looking forward to learning with you!
The second day of the Workshop will feature a session called What’s Your Problem? Workshop What You're Working On and we'd love your contribution. This session will feature time for participants to talk in small groups about an issue one member of the group is facing and provide feedback and fresh ideas. Let us know in advance if you’re interested in presenting something you're currently feeling stuck on. Or donate a problem for the session. Bring one to two sentences about the problem, one or two sticking points, and some examples of what you’ve tried. We'll collect these on Day 1 so we're ready to workshop what we're working on during Day 2.
Four CPH credits are available for participants.
