Health + Literacy + English: Building Partnerships to Increase Health Literacy in Adult Learners
This is a Community Engagement domain course.
Incorporating health literacy into adult education and English language programs remains a challenge. Drawing upon the success of refugee health literacy programs, this workshop will demonstrate ways to integrate health literacy education through partnership opportunities.
We’ll examine lessons learned about navigating partner relationships, to include the role of facilitator, potential barriers to success, and ways to leverage funding. And, we’ll equip participants with the tools for building key partnerships—specific to student needs—in their local areas.
