Webinar: Authentically Involving Ukrainian Communities to Build Trust in Public Health Response Activities

This webinar features speakers from the Washington State Department of Health (WA DOH), the largest destination in the United States for Ukrainian refugees, and provides training on how the WA DOH implemented programs and community outreach activities aimed toward engaging the Ukrainian refugee community during the pandemic. The webinar discusses barriers to vaccinations and lessons learned, as well as capacity-building strategies, such as working with community leaders to establish authentic relationships and build trust within communities. By the end of this webinar, viewers will be able to articulate the value of hiring people from Ukrainian communities; replicate successful community capacity-building practices; establish and cultivate community partnerships; and apply COVID-19 response strategies to other public health needs in Ukrainian communities. This webinar is 56:47 long. Slides and the recording are available at Authentically involving Ukrainian communities in public health response activities | NRC-RIM.
