Discover innovative and dynamic approaches for better understanding the multiple factors that influence health—ecosystem approaches to health—with an experienced, pan-Canadian team. During this eight-part webinar series you will learn methods for carrying out educational activities, research, and interventions on issues at the nexus of health, ecosystems, and society. In a time of an unprecedented polycrisis, connections are more important than ever. Our webinar series is designed to build relationships that can heal. Learn more about our land-based, transformative teaching style in our 2023 paper published in the Lancet Planetary Health (Webb et al. 2023).
