To NIFL-Health,

October is Health Literacy Month! I encourage all of you as health literacy
advocates to help raise awareness about the need for understandable health
information. You can do this in whatever way makes sense for whatever
audience you are trying to reach.

For some, raising awareness may mean simply putting up a poster or talking
about health literacy at a departmental meeting. For others, this may
include organizing a lunchtime presentation or displaying ways to simplify
documents. Or perhaps hosting a more ambitious workshop, conference, or
community presentation.

Regardless of how you choose to get involved in Health Literacy Month, join
with health literacy advocates around the world as together we make clear
the need for understandable health information.

To learn more and to get on the Health Literacy Month map, please go to

Together, we CAN make a difference.
Regards,
~Helen
