Developing Healthy Communities

Free online seminar to mark Disability Awareness Week NI 2020 focusing on health inequalities and how we can adapt services for people with learning disabilities. Presented by Derry City & Strabane District Council in partnership with Public Health Agency and Developing Healthy Communities.

The restrictions created by COVID-19 on our day to day lives are affecting our physical, mental and social well-being as well as exacerbating inequalities. Statutory agencies and community and voluntary sector organisations have been responding creatively and finding new ways of working together. This online seminar, organised by the Derry and Strabane Healthy City and District initiative, brings together people from both the public and community and voluntary sectors who are at the frontline of the response. Participants will share their experiences and explore how we can all build on what we have learned to find new ways of working together in the future.
