It’s National Health Education Week!📖

This week, we celebrate the power of education to inspire healthier choices and strengthen communities. Health education helps connect people with knowledge and resources, improve health literacy, while encouraging informed decision-making, and greater awareness of the factors that influence our health. Whether you’re a health educator, public health professional, student, community advocate, or simply someone who wants to make a positive difference, we all have a role in promoting healthier communities. Take time this week to learn something new, share trustworthy health information, start meaningful conversations, and recognize the people working every day to improve health and well-being! ❤️‍🩹

The Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE) will be hosting various webinars this week including topics over ethical applications of AI, public health informatics and student mentoring, advancing health equity through health literacy, and more.
