Did you see people struggle with understanding their options? Did you create something to help them? > > We want to hear your story. > > It all starts next week on the Health Literacy Discussion List. This listserv, which is brought to you courtesy of IHA, comprises a group of nearly 1600 of your colleagues who all share one thing in common: a commitment to improving health literacy. The discussion takes place Monday, April 14 to Wednesday, April 16. Please share your stories, your experiences, your programs, your efforts, your successes, and your not-so-successful efforts. > > Not a member of the listserv? Click here to join now.

Now you'll be able to electronically post a note for your fellow attendees. The Board will be up and functional next week. Stay tuned. > > Networking/Support Space to Share How You're Putting Into Practice What You Learned. So many times after we attend a conference, the materials we got there--along with our notes--go into a binder on a shelf, or a file folder in a drawer, never to see the light of day again. So, to combat that, we are starting a LinkedIn networking/support group for attendees. Sign up and share with your colleagues what changes you are putting into place at your work. Talk about how you're doing something differently as a result of something you learned at the conference. Support someone in their efforts to do the same. Details to follow! Have an idea about this? Email me: mvillaire at iha4health.org > Different Name, Same Hotel > > Hotel Irvine-Jamboree Center (formerly known as the Hyatt Regency, Irvine) > > The 13th Annual IHA Health Literacy Conference will be held once again at the Hotel Irvine-Jamboree Center, formerly known as the Hyatt Regency, Irvine.

If you call, be sure to mention that you are attending the IHA Health Literacy Conference to get this special rate. Book your room early, as the block of rooms at this special rate is limited. When these rooms are gone, prevailing rates apply on an as-available basis. > > Deadline for reserving rooms at this rate is > April 23, OR until rooms in this block are sold out, whichever comes first.

Click here to review the agenda. > Incredible Learning at a Fabulous Price! > > These days, we're all looking closely at where we can best spend our training dollars. This is particularly true for nonprofit organizations. However, when you consider that only 12% of American adults are considered proficient in the health literacy skills they need to effectively navigate and use our healthcare system, you can see that the Health Literacy Conference is an excellent investment. If you make even a small number of incremental changes in how you and your staff interact and communicate with your patients and clients, the results could more than pay for your tuition to attend this conference. > > We have kept our tuition rates at the same low rate every year. Check out our tuition rates and show it to whoever approves your education programming. See how little you will pay to attend this important conference.

Message-ID: Cultural Competency Training Working With Diverse Populations in Maternal and Child Health Cultural influences an individual?s health beliefs, practices, behaviors, and even the outcome of medical treatments. Because of this, health care providers must learn about culture and become culturally competent. A competent and professional maternal and child health workforce is essential for the optimal delivery of the Maternal and Child Health Service. A competent health care provider has the ability to respond respectfully and effectively to people of all cultures, in a manner that affirms the worth and preserves the dignity of individuals, families and communities. Cultural competence is important in every aspect of our lives, but it is a critical skill for health care providers, who deal daily with diverse populations. Participants will understand and recognize the importance of cultural competency and steps towards implementation within their healthcare practice. Core Competency Development Outline: SELF-AWARENESS: Develop an understanding of cultural values and beliefs and its impact on health and health care delivery by first understanding your own. CROSS-CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE: Learn how beliefs, cultures and ethnic practices can influence health behavior and health status. LANGUAGE DIVERSITY: Discuss and understand the importance of providing information, referrals and services in the language appropriate to the client as well as the provision of interpreters when needed. DELIVERY OF CARE: Are culturally and linguistically appropriate and competent services, programs and interventions available in the communities you serve? Are such services, programs and interventions meeting the needs of the community of interest? ADVOCACY: Increase skill set to include advocacy for public policies and programs that promote and support culturally and linguistically responsive services and the inclusion, representation and participation of individuals who reflect the diversity of our communities.

Beneath the glossy, perfect images presented in pop culture there are more desperate stakes at hand. Who is at fault for perpetuating such a harmful culture? Is it corporate greed in advertising? Is it the media that projects these images? Could it even be the parents? Award-winning director Darryl Roberts along with industry experts Jean Kilbourn, Carolyn Costin, Steven Genarro and Gail Dines tackle the complicated answers to these questions, revealing the treacherous effects this has on not just children, but society as a whole. Join us on May 21 at 5pm at University Point at College Station on the PSU campus.

How does research in other fields inform EHL? Please register and mark your calendars (see attached flyer) for this webinar that covers new and exciting territory -- and share this announcement with your colleagues and partners. Environmental Health Literacy: The Evolution of a New Field Date: June 24, 2014 Time: 1:00-2:00 p.m. EDT Please register at: http://bit.ly/PEPH_EHL (Registration required) Description: Environmental health literacy (EHL) is an emerging and evolving concept that bridges shared theories from the fields of risk communication, environmental health science, behavioral science, evaluation, communications, public health, and the social sciences. The process of becoming environmentally health literate entails raising scientific literacy, environmental literacy, and numeracy among the general public while increasing awareness of specific exposures and their potential health effects. In this webinar, we will hear from two recognized experts who will set the context for EHL by highlighting the relationship between health literacy and improved health outcomes, as well as how other fields contribute to EHL research. They will offer lessons learned and recommendations that could be applied to the evolving field of EHL. The webinar will include two presentations: "Health Literacy Definitions, Disparities, and Health Outcomes: Lessons for Environmental Health" Michael Paasche-Orlow, M.D., Boston University "Connecting Disciplines to Inform and Develop the Emerging Field of Environmental Health Literacy" Anna Hoover, Ph.D., University of Kentucky We look forward to your participation! -- Alissa Leavitt, MPH, MCHES Program Director Lactation Education and Consultant Program Portland Community College (PCC) lactation at pcc.edu www.pcc.edu/programs/lactation Faculty- Health Studies Portland Community College (PCC) Rock Creek Campus 17705 Northwest Springville Road Portland, OR 97229 971-722-7767 alissa.leavitt at pcc.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
