ABOUT THE CONVENING

This workshop will focus on the lack of safe spaces for our communities to be physically active, and what people across the state are doing on this important issue. Come hear about the experiences of local advocates and school personnel in opening up school facilities to create environments that promote health.

This interactive convening will feature presentations by Public Health Law & Policy, local advocates, and CPEHN, as well as opportunities for networking.
