The 2010 Health Justice Instensive Training will focus on the following topics:



Mental Health
Medical Racism
Trans Health
Classism within Healthcare
Organizing Accessible Healthcare
Cultural Appropriation

Within each subject we will explore:  History, Definitions and Terminology of each subject;
Herbal Remedies (if applicable); Resources and more!

Through the use of popular education style facilitation and training, participants will develop facilitation and leadership skills. Attendees will also leave with a comprehensive manual and will be able to take this informative training to their own communities.

The goals of the training are to:

*Encourage a dialogue about Community Health Care and explore issues of Oppression and Accessibility with students, teachers, community organizers and practitioners of herbalism/ holisticl health.


*Focus on Cultural Competency,
which is defined simply as the ability to understand, communicate with, and provide effective and appropriate care to people with diverse values, experiences, and backgrounds.


*Create a base of Radherb Educators who can begin to teach and inspire health care providers, clinics, schools, teachers and students throughout the Northeast.

*Create leaders in the field of Health Justice who will then use their skills to collaborate with healthcare providers, clinics, schools, teachers and students throughout the Northeast.


In the future, the Radherb Collective and network members will be presenting the Health Justice Institute Training at conferences, health clinics, herb schools and where-ever else we may be invited! Email if you would like us to host us in 2011. In September, 2010 we will be presenting in New York City for local health care practitioners, community organizers, students, and teachers.
