To me, plain language is both a science (following well-tested rules) and an art (applying these rules in engaging and appealing ways). October's How-To Tiplooks at ways to do just that. *HLOL Podcasts * *[image: HLOL logo] * *Health Literacy Out Loud (HLOL). *Listen to and learn from my audio interviews with those "in the know" about health literacy.

How right I was. And still am. Since 1999, healthcare providers, patients, family members, caregivers, teachers, students, librarians, public health agencies, religious organizations, community agencies, businesses, broadcasters, government groups, elected leaders, the public, and so many others have worked in partnership to collectively raise awareness about the importance of understandable health information. Because of our combined efforts, thousands of people worldwide now know about health literacy and why it matters. And an increasing number are communicating health messages more clearly. Collaboration is key to this success. As I often say, "Together we can, and do, make a big difference." Thanks for all you do. You indeed are Health Literacy Heroes!

The toolkit is a central piece of National Health Education Week, which is being celebrated from October 21-25, 2013. "Health education specialists are trusted, authoritative sources of health information for patients, consumers, and families," says Kelli McCormack Brown, PhD, CHES, SOPHE President. "Thus, we strongly urge all health educators to take an active role in helping the public prepare for the health insurance expansion, learn about the Marketplace and how to get covered, and explain the range of preventive health services available." SOPHE invites all health education specialists and other health professionals to participate in the activities of National Health Education Week by joining in the daily events: * Monday, October 21: Communicating ACA's Provisions for Improving Consumer Health & Wellness * Tuesday, October 22: Navigating the Health Insurance Enrollment Process * Wednesday, October 23: Working with Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) and Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMH) * Thursday, October 24: Promoting Worksite Wellness * Friday, October 25: Advocating for the Prevention and Public Health Fund "Whether working on college campuses or in businesses, community organizations, K-12 schools, or healthcare facilities," says Elaine Auld, MPH, MCHES, Chief Executive Officer of SOPHE, "health education specialists have a monumental role in applying our knowledge and skills to help consumers become healthier." The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law on March 23, 2010. Over the past three years, millions of Americans have gained access to preventive services with no cost-sharing, communities are becoming healthier with investments from the Prevention and Public Health Fund, and coordinated patient care is improving with the establishment of Accountable Care Organizations and Patient-Centered Medical Homes. Americans are now able to enroll in affordable health care coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace online, by phone, by mail, or in person. Many individuals may also qualify for financial assistance to help pay for a health insurance plan. In addition to tailored resources in SOPHE's toolkit, health professionals can refer consumers to the website HealthCare.gov, which has information in multiple languages. Marketplace.cms.gov and the Provider Marketplace Toolkit also contain many valuable fact sheets, tools, and resources. About National Health Education Week (NHEW) NHEW is celebrated annually during the third week of October and focuses national attention on a major public health issue, provides public education, and improves consumer understanding of health education's role in promoting the public's health. NHEW is recognized by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. About SOPHE The Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE) is a non-profit professional organization founded in 1950 to provide global leadership to the profession of health education and health promotion and to promote the health of society. SOPHE's 4,000 international and chapter members work in various public and private organizations to advance health education theory and research, develop disease prevention and health promotion programs, and promote public policies conducive to health.

To: alissa.leavitt at pcc.edu [image: Art & Science banner] Dear Alissa Leavitt, "A growing trans-disciplinary movement called Health at Every Size (HAES?) challenges the value of promoting weight loss and dieting behavior and argues for a shift in focus to weight-neutral outcomes. Randomized controlled clinical trials indicate that a HAES approach is associated with statistically and clinically relevant improvements in physiological measures (e.g., blood pressure, blood lipids), health behaviors (e.g., eating and activity habits, dietary quality), and psychosocial outcomes (such as self-esteem and body image), and that HAES achieves these health outcomes more successfully than weight loss treatment and without the contraindications associated with a weight focus." The above quote, which comes from *this article *written by Linda Bacon, PhD, and Lucy Aphramor, PhD, RD, deeply evaluates weight science and makes a valuable case for Health at Every Size interventions in a diverse range of health care settings. Warm regards, Dana, Hilary and the staff at Be Nourished *The Embodied Practitioner* This workshop is designed for health care practitioners who want to increase their understanding of their own body story from a HAES? perspective. *November 15, 2013* *More Information... * * * *Advanced Training in Motivational Interviewing* This advanced workshop is designed for individuals who have completed the introductory training in MI. *December 5-6, 2013* *More Information... * *The Art of Behavior * *Change Counseling * *Using Health at Every Size? and Motivational Interviewing to Create a Sustainable Model of Health* Up to 18 CEUs Available *Jan. 31 - Feb. 2, 2014* *More Information... * [image: logo-green] [image: Hilary & Dana] *Be Nourished Co-Founders * *Dana Sturtevant, MS, RD & * * Hilary Kinavey, MS, LPC* * * *We know the conversations that occur between health care providers and their clients are powerful ones, capable of supporting or inhibiting the innate change process that is alive in all of us. We also believe helping professionals do the work they do because they want to be agents of change. The Be Nourished Training Institute is grounded in the empirically validated modalities of Motivational Interviewing and Health At Every Size?.
