To conclude P4HE's Q1 2025 learning journey, this webinar introduced participants to the dynamics of policy change and civic engagement as strategies to move towards a healthier society and address health disparities. The webinar went beyond our shared understanding of the importance of civic engagement and policy change to advance health equity by discussing how we can promote and participate in civic engagement and political advocacy to affect health policy and improve health outcomes for all.

Webinar Objectives:
- Briefly discuss key takeaways from prior learnings in Q1.
