"Knowledge is Power! We can only address something when we know something is wrong. Incorporating what I have learned from the Environmental Health and Breast Cancer Training into my curriculum has armed me with the tools to make others aware to be proactive about our/their health as individuals and collectively as a community. Thank you again for the amazing opportunity."
"Your environmental health training opened my eyes to the possibility that I might be an advocate for a cleaner, safer world... I felt more empowered by having the language and scientific knowledge so that I could clearly advocate for the environmental health of my family. I have used your training to support the launch of an organization that I believe will improve the environmental health of all of our children and grandchildren."
"As an Executive Director entering the field of breast cancer professionally after years as a patient advocate, the training provided a valuable perspective...as well as some of the emerging science on breast cancer and the environment….the training lays an excellent foundation for thinking about the future direction of the field…In addition to benefiting from the content of the training, I appreciate the diverse network I gained through the training and I have continued to engage with other participants over subsequent months on a variety of issues.” |
The Collaborative on Health and the Environment's Environmental Health Primary Prevention trainings provide evidence-based science in lay language to be used in a range of settings, including advocacy, determining research priorities, public education and community organizing. The goal is to give trainees a deeper understanding of the science that links health outcomes with environmental factors, so trainees can become more effective as champions for a healthier world. So far we have offered trainings on environmental links to breast cancer, reproductive health and healthy aging.
