Multidisciplinary neutrality refers to the requirement of impartiality and objectivity in public institutions, particularly judicial, academic and scientific, which is obtained not by the isolated neutrality of a person or entity, but by the interdisciplinary confrontation of multiple disciplines to analyze and resolve the same complex phenomenon, the nature and scope of which are social and historical. Here, the client remains the primary expert in their own subjective lived experience.

Who We Are

Get to Know our Hybrid Practice

The Advisory & Risk Management Bureau (ARMB) is part of Praxis Forum’s Neutral Third Party Services, which combine innovative Public Health Practice with Dispute Prevention and Resolution principles. Our hybrid practice combines two distinct methodologies to improve overall performance and achieve specific policy, health equity and social justice objectives.

What We Do

Education and Research Into Innovative Public Health Prevention, Promotion and Protection

The ARMB focuses primarily on the Health Equity and Social Justice portfolios. The Health Equity and Social Justice portfolios are intended to make certain that every person has a fair opportunity to achieve their best health and quality of life targets, regardless of race, gender, physical or psychological condition or socio-economic status, by addressing the social determinants of health and removing structural barriers to self-determination.

How We Do It

One Dimension, Multiple Channels to Achieve Policy, Health Equity and Social Justice Objectives

Multi-layered strategies that combine preventative education, environmental changes, and legislative and policy actions enhance the long-term success and sustainability of interventions that combine a health equity and social justice objective.

Why We Do It

Systemic and Full-Scale Transformations in People, Places and Power Structures

Health equity and social justice are essential for fostering long-term, intergenerational community wellbeing, by addressing health inequities and reducing all forms of systemic injustice and violence through education, rather than using more invasive, aggressive or cohersive practices to treat diseases or illnesses, or to resolve contentious matters.

When and Where

Prevention is Better than Cure, Mitigation Goes Beyond Crisis Management and Remediation

Preventative and promotive interventions are most effective when implemented early, at the individual and community level, to address the social, economic, environmental, and behavioral determinants of health and justice.
