Health Policy Advocacy Training SIRC Community Engagement & Outreach Core Training To extend the reach of advocacy training to a broader community audience, SIRC now offers web-based training materials. The Citizen and Community Advocacy training enables community health leaders to translate health research findings into policy change and enhancements in community well-being. Here we provide tools and support community health leaders for citizen and voter engagement and public policy advocacy.
Office of Refugee Health The SIRC Office of Refugee Health seeks to alleviate the consequences of war, forced migration, and resettlement, address inequities, and improve the health and psychosocial wellbeing of forcibly displaced populations. We work in partnership with refugee and forced migrant communities, health and social service providers, and interdisciplinary researchers in the Southwest and beyond to generate evidence and shape policy and practice grounded in people’s lived experiences.
