Policy, Systems & Environmental Change Training Suite

OVERVIEW
Description:
Public health is using policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) change as a critical tool to improve equity and health outcomes. PSE changes focus on root causes and seek to create sustainable change by taking a population or systems-wide approach, rather than focusing solely on the individual. Successfully creating change through systems and environmental strategies has many components including collecting data, researching the issue and analyzing potential solutions; engaging partners and stakeholders and building support within the community; identifying who has the power to make the change you’re seeking and then educating and persuading them to act. To learn more about these pieces of the PSE process, the Rocky Mountain Public Health Training Center has compiled this Suite of trainings. Find the ones that best meet your needs.
