Guerilla Policy-fare

Show or Hide Course Details

Format	Other
Cost	Free
Duration	1.5 hours
Description	Successful decision-making in public health and health care administration requires the ability and agility to balance public policy, institutional strategy, program objectives, resource allocation, inter-disciplinary planning and consensus building, and "turf" issues. This seminar will discuss studying the players, politics, processes, skills and strategies needed to be developed to better understand, monitor, and actively influence health care policy making at the state and federal levels, on behalf of provider organizations, consumers, and advocacy groups. Participants will learn to be better advocates with government and how to develop collective partnerships with communities. The strategies presented will address the need for the individual to understand that in “Guerilla Policy-fare” the process is disorderly, and rarely sequential. It typically involves multiple disciplines trained in different problem solving approaches and is colored by political considerations which are usually not clearly articulated. Participants will begin to understand that the process of advocacy has competitive elements with other providers and frequently moves very quickly. In this process leadership will face complex problems or predicaments of reconciling priorities that may not be complimentary. This seminar will challenge participants thinking regarding approaches to policy planning, decision making, and resource allocation, with goals that are clear but political support is not.

Understanding the Role of Healthcare Providers in Treating Victims of Workplace Sexual Violence

Show or Hide Course Details

Format	Web-based Course
Cost	free
Duration	1.5 hours
Description	Sexual harassment is a pervasive problem impacting the lives of many low wage immigrant women. Women employed in agricultural work and other low wage jobs, like hotel housekeepers, restaurant employees, and factory workers, face sexual violence in the workplace at alarming rates. For these women, sexual harassment ranges from inappropriate touching and comments to rape. These women are often unfamiliar with their rights and are usually non-English speakers, so many never admit to being harassed. Medical providers play a key role in identifying and treating low wage women who suffer from workplace sexual violence. However, sometimes protocols are not in place to help identify a woman who is suffering from this violence. Since 2003, Esperanza: The Immigrant Women’s Legal Initiative has worked to build a collaborative initiative with a range of providers, including healthcare providers, to combat the problem of sexual violence against farmworker and other low wage women. The EEOC and Oregon Law Center have worked with Esperanza since 2006 as a part of the Esperanza National Working Group. Learn more about the problem and what you can do to help reverse an alarming trend.
