Health Literacy Program
With a fast changing health care system, students need knowledge and skills to allow them to move successfully into adulthood. By building their health literacy, educators can help to ensure that they have both. Health literacy is the capacity to obtain, interpret, and understand basic health information and services and the competence to use such information and services in ways that are health-enhancing. In this 90 minute workshop educators at all grade levels can learn how to build health literacy across curricula areas and where to go for additional training. This workshop was posted in April, 2011.
