Brigit’s Notes

Our free monthly bilingual e-mail bulletin keeps you up-to-date on hot issues related to women’s health.

Women’s Health Information Centre:

Our comprehensive and always-expanding bilingual collection of women’s health publications and resources from across Canada and the world is catalogued on our website. This gives you – free of charge – access to some 10,000 documents, reviews, projects and organizations covering a wide range of information on women's health and women’s lives. Aiding searches in the database is CWHN’s unique bilingual and Canadian women’s health thesaurus. A list of over 4000 key words and terms allows quick and easy access to topics related to women's health. We also answer requests to help find health information through our national toll-free numbers (including TTY) or our website.

E-mail Discussion List:

CDN-WOMEN is a moderated discussion list that joins together and strengthens links among organizations, individuals and groups across Canada involved in women’s health.

Community Outreach and Networking:

Our network is a trusted source of women’s health information for individuals, organizations, the media, policy makers and key health planning groups across Canada. We participate in regional and national conferences, consultations, events and workshops and distribute credible women’s health information materials. We also help people come together for action on women’s health by supporting and building networks, coalitions and joint projects.

Media Relations:

Our comprehensive bilingual communications, media and public relations program has resulted in the CWHN being an important choice for journalists seeking information on women’s health issues in Canada.
