Health education is the practice of educating individuals and communities about maintaining and improving their physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being. It involves providing information, skills, and resources to help people make informed decisions and adopt healthy behaviors.

The primary goals of health education are to: (1) increase knowledge and awareness about various health-related topics, such as disease prevention, nutrition, physical activity, mental health, and safety; (2) develop personal skills and behaviors that promote and maintain good health, such as hand-washing, stress management, and healthy lifestyle choices; (3) empower individuals and communities to take an active role in their own health and well-being, and to advocate for policies and environments that support healthy living.

Health education can take place in a variety of settings, including schools, workplaces, healthcare facilities, community centers, and through public health campaigns. It can be delivered through a range of methods, such as lectures, workshops, interactive activities, media campaigns, and one-on-one counseling.

Effective health education is tailored to the specific needs and characteristics of the target audience, and it often involves collaboration between healthcare professionals, educators, and community stakeholders.

We have a diverse team of subject matter experts that develop customized behavior change trainings based on a health department’s needs leveraging existing resources and promoting health literary. Some examples of our work include Trauma-Responsive and Resilience and Screening & Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment.
