The Health
Education Advocate - Advocating for
Public Health Education Legislation and Health Promotion Funding
www.healtheducationadvocate.org
The Health
Education Advocate mission is to provide a central, timely source of
advocacy information related to the field of health education and health
promotion.
The website
allows health educators access to resources such as tips and primers,
articles, websites and PowerPoint presentations on advocacy methods
currently being used in the field. The website also provides access to tools
designed to take action immediately, like fact sheets, press releases,
testimonials and sample letters which can be used to send to local media or
political outlets. Many more resources are available to help advocate more
effectively for health education at the local community, state, or national
level.
The Health
Education Advocate site is supported through the collaborative efforts of
the Coalition of National Health Education Organizations
(CNHEO)
(http://www.hsc.usf.edu/CFH/cnheo)
and related partners. Founded in 1972, the CNHEO is a non-profit federation
of organizations dedicated to advancing the profession of health education.
