Centering Resources and Approaches in Cultural Knowledge: Exploring Connection Among Health Departments and Communities Served
ResourcesSession Summary
This session offers an opportunity for PHIG recipients to actively reflect on how and why in engaging with communities, using context and examples like the established practices of promotores in the community working with the San Francisco Department of Public Health, to emerging approaches like building a Tribal Workforce Cultivation Hub through a partnership with NNPHI and Rising Rezilience, LLC. Highlighting the resilient spirit of Indigenous approaches across the Americas, both presentations offer an exploration of non-transactional partnership building, relational investment, and the cultivation of culturally integrated foundations to uphold and uplift the public health workforce and the communities it serves.
