Loved your web page reference. IT's full of concrete ideas, and respects
where people are, embedded in their own references. Most adult literacy
programs in Canada are slanted to employment-related outcomes, since federal
funding for projects is from Human Resources and Skill development, likely.
Family literacy seems to offer more range for collaboration with health
professionals, do you find?

I prepared a similar encouraging list of resources for collaboration for
literacy and health care providers (see attached) and presented it at a
summer institute here and at a national literacy summit in Quebec City in
October.. Many of you will find your wonderful work championed. Keep it up!
A health literacy movement will depend on reaching a critical mass of voices
speaking out and resources being allocated to this promising work.
