Health + Literacy + English: Building Partnerships to Increase Health Literacy in Adult Learners
Overview
This workshop will expose attendees to a unique partnership to incorporate health into adult basic education and English language learner programs. It will illustrate how recent health literacy summer programs for refugees arose out of earlier partnerships. Lessons learned about barriers and facilitators to partnerships and programming will be examined. Participants will have the opportunity to identify partnerships they might build in their local areas, specific to student needs. Participants will leave the workshop with tools for building partnerships and meeting adult learner needs, including removing barriers and leveraging funding.
