COVID-19 Resources Canada Launches Workshop To Train Influencers and Leaders in Vaccine Conversations Français
TORONTO, Nov. 16, 2021 /CNW/ - COVID-19 Resources Canada (C19) is thrilled to announce their new Vaccine Conversations workshop, a program that teaches Canadians how to talk about vaccines with groups of people in their community.
Vaccine Conversations includes a 120 minute workshop for schools, community groups, faith communities and anyone interested in learning how to effectively educate the groups they influence on the safety and efficacy of vaccines. In addition to the 120 minute workshop, participants in Vaccine Conversations will have access to regular office hours with leading experts who can help guide them when having these difficult conversations. As well, all participants are provided a library of online resources to further inform their training.
"Everyone's an influencer, whether you're the CEO of an organization, the facilitator of a community group or faith leader, or the head of your family," says Dr. Tara Moriarty, infectious diseases researcher at the University of Toronto and co-founder of COVID-19 Resources Canada. "This workshop gives leaders the language and tools they need to have important conversations and help those in their communities make informed decisions."
This program is free and available to all Canadians. Registration begins on Tuesday, November 16. For more information and registration, visit https://covid19resources.ca/public/vaccine-conversations.
COVID-19 Resources Canada will continue to host live drop-in Q&A sessions twice per week for individuals with questions about COVID-19 vaccines. More information about this ongoing offering can be found by visiting www.covid19resources.ca/vaccineqa.
