There is growing evidence of the effectiveness of integrating an understanding of trauma, gender, and sex into all aspects of the work on substance use issues.

This webinar will:

• Provide an overview of trauma, gender, and sex informed (TGS) approaches to substance use and addiction;
• Provide examples where trauma, gender, and sex informed approaches are being integrated in Canadian substance use programming; and
• Review tools for program and policy development to support the integration of TGS approaches into our work in the substance use field.

The webinar will be based on a new resource New Terrain: Integrating Trauma and Gender Informed Responses into Substance Use Practice and Policy developed by the Centre of Excellence for Women’s Health.

This webinar is hosted by the Centre for Excellence for Women’s Health.

This webinar will document recent progress in research pertaining to the characterization of diet quality and novel approaches to promote healthy eating. Specifically, this session will discuss the (1) relationship between the best markers of diet quality such as dairy products (i.e. yogurt), fruits and vegetables and metabolic health in youth and adults and (2) implementation of web-based nutrition interventions as a strategy to help youth and families adopt healthy eating habits and increase consumption of fruits, vegetables and dairy products in these populations.

After attending this session, participants will be able to:

• Identify which foods/food groups, as part of a healthy diet and lifestyle, may play a role in the control of body weight and metabolic health;
• Understand the role of factors such as genetic susceptibility to obesity in the relationship between foods/food groups and body weight and metabolic health;
• Learn about an innovative school and/or family-based nutrition program that has positively impacted the consumption of fruits, vegetables and dairy products in youth and adults and their effect on various eating behaviour traits;
• Describe how using web-based or technological platforms may help youth adopt healthy eating habits that will have implications later in adulthood.

This webinar is hosted by the Canadian Nutrition Society.
