California Breathing Asthma Program of the California Department of Public Health is pleased to announce the upcoming symposium:
Healthy Housing for California: Reducing the Burden of Asthma and Other Health Impacts
Healthy homes programs in California and throughout the country have been able to reduce the burden of asthma and other negative health impacts for those living in substandard housing conditions using a comprehensive approach to the home environment. Healthy Housing for California will bring together professionals and advocates in the fields of housing, health, policy, code enforcement, legal assistance, property management, community development and green building. Attendees will learn about the link between health and housing, especially as relates to asthma and to reducing health disparities. The program will feature both recent data and promising approaches for application in the field.
On Day Two of the symposium participants are invited to take part in either of two exciting events: a day-long strategic planning session to identify statewide healthy housing directions, or; a one-day Healthy Homes training designed to strengthen the knowledge base and practical skills of those who visit people in their homes for a variety of purposes, thus paving the way for more effective interventions and healthier living environments. Visit the California Breathing website for further information on registration, workshops, presenters and travel scholarships (a limited number will be made available based on need), or go here to register.
