| Workshop Outline
This three-day workshop will assist you to work more effectively to improve Aboriginal health. It will benefit practitioners, service providers and policy makers across both health and non-health settings. Experienced Flinders University Aboriginal health educators will use interactive sessions to explore how the social determinants of Indigenous health actually play out in real lives, and in particular kinds of health outcomes. The workshop will move beyond a narrow focus on cultural awareness to introduce a more-integrated model of culturally-safe work and organisational practice. Aboriginal perspectives, experience and knowledge will be interwoven with best practice strategies developed by a nationallyrespected team of Aboriginal health academics. This workshop will also equip you with ways to translate learning into practice - and into better health outcomes. | | Posted: 22 December 2011 |

| http://www.interprofessional.ubc.ca/Adults.html | | This conference will provide a forum to share research, experience and practice in order to discuss how we can effectively sustain and enhance the lives of adolescents and adults with FASD, their families, service providers, and communities. Are we adequately addressing and supporting the needs and rights of adolescents and adults with FASD within our society? Do individuals with FASD have timely and appropriate access to health care, housing, social services, legal and civil justice and employment? How can we build on the strengths of existing systems to identify and address barriers and move forward to provide effective ethical support? How do we provide focused and targeted approaches across services, and systems to create an integrated and collaborative approach to supporting individuals with FASD? These are the essential elements for social justice and we are just starting to explore and understand what will be required to put these into action. | | Updated: 24 June 2011 / Posted: 06 May 2011 |

| http://www.ghf12.org/ | This forum is a key event for those wishing to keep their fingers on the pulse of the global health frontlines. Once again a consultative process involving hundreds of previous participants and partners has generated the theme for GHF 2012: a focus on chronic conditions.
The fourth edition of the Geneva Health Forum (GHF) will focus on chronic conditions which pose major challenges to health systems in high and low-income countries, in stable and emergency situations. To address this challenge the GHF solicits accounts from those on the frontlines, whether they are working at the local level in a rural clinic, at the national level in a ministry or developing policy at the international level. | | Posted: 15 September 2011 |

| http://www.focushealth.com.au | | Communities throughout Australia are increasingly concerned about the problems posed by excessive alcohol and drug fuelled violence. Efforts at the national level to tackle our excessive alcohol consumption have been limited and poorly coordinated. Building our effectiveness to advocate for better public policy from local, state and federal governments is increasingly seen as important for communities to 'take back the streets' and turn around the level of alcohol and drug-fuelled violence. David Templeman (ADCA), Paul Dillon (DARTA), Chris Raine (Young Aust. of the Year, Qld), Mark Daglish (Addiction Psychiatrist) included in the line up for the day. | | Updated: 01 February 2012 / Posted: 30 January 2012 |

The impacts of social determinants on health and wellbeing are a concern, not only for ethnic minority populations in New Zealand, but in all host countries receiving ethnically different immigrants. We would like to address these issues comprehensively and thereby broaden our collective knowledge in this field. | | Posted: 23 November 2011 |
