What the Health?! Film & Forum Series
Join us for a North Eugene County Commissioners Candidates Forum on April 26th from 6:30-8:30 PMat Willamette High School, 1801 Echo Hollow Road, Eugene. LCHAY is partnering with Beyond Toxics and STAND for Children OREGON to host a North Eugene County Commissioners Candidates Forum.
WHY DOES LCHAY HOLD FILM & FORUM EVENTS?
To deepen understanding of how policy and environment play a role in making healthy choices.
To stimulate conversation about food and nutrition, income, education, race and ethnicity, our surroundings, media influence and public policy.
To learn about peoples' priorities related to health, and obesity prevention, particularly among children.
To provide an opportunity for diverse representatives of our community to connect, talk and learn together.
To increase capacity for community organizing and advocacy in order to support programs and policies that improve health.
This series made possible in part by support from Community Health Priorities, a project of The Northwest Health Foundation.
PAST EVENTS:
In the past, we have screened the following documentaries:
Consuming Kids: The Commercialization of Childhood
These events are part of LCHAY's What the Health?! Initiative, a series of films and forums exploring how media, place and policy affect our health and wellbeing.
