About OHPE

The Ontario Health Promotion E-mail Bulletin (OHPE) is a weekly newsletter for people interested in health promotion. It is produced by Health Nexus Santé (formerly the Ontario Prevention Clearinghouse) and The Health Communication Unit.
 

We provide information on workshops, conferences, job postings, projects, issues and resources. The first section (events,
announcements and jobs) is distributed by email on Friday afternoon. The second and third sections (features and resources) are included every second week.

You can join our 5000+ readers by subscribing from our home page or by emailing info@ohpe.ca.

All past issues are stored in our searchable database. You can also browse by complete issues or by individual entries for events, announcements, job postings, feature articles or resources.

We welcome submissions of events, announcements, job postings, feature articles, resources and letters to the editor.

About the Partner Organizations

The Ontario Health Promotion E-Mail Bulletin is produced by Health Nexus Santé and The Health Communication Unit (THCU). Both are members of the Ontario Health Promotion Resource System (OHPRS) and are funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion.

Health Nexus Santé is Ontario's longest standing health promotion organization. Health Nexus helps individuals, groups and communities use health promotion strategies to achieve health and well-being. Health Nexus provides service in English and French and emphasizes building new visions, improving practices for heath promotion, and supporting practitioner, organizational and community capacity. Our Health Promotion Hub, founder and now co-publisher of the OHPE, is a major program. The Hub provides consultation services, various learning events, and access to publications, including electronic bulletins. The OHPE's counterpart in French is Le Bloc-Notes. Another Health Nexus program is Best Start: Ontario's Maternal, Newborn and Early Childhood Development Resource Centre.

THCU is part of the Centre for Health Promotion, at the University of Toronto, and was developed in 1993 to provide training and support in health communication. In 1997/98, its mandate was expanded to include health promotion planning, evaluation and policy change. In 2000 it was again expanded to include sustainability. THCU aims to increase the capacity of community and public health agencies to plan for, conduct and evaluate a wide range of health promotion programs (within a comprehensive and population-based approach) through provincial and regional workshops, tailored consultations and quality resource materials.

Content of the OHPE Bulletin is provided as an information-sharing service. Inclusion of information and resources does not represent endorsement by Health Nexus Santé, THCU or the funder.
