Our first day together opening enables us to reflect on health literacy’s important contribution to health communication. Our work is based on clear communication and promotes dignified dialogue. Our goal is to leave no one behind.

Misinformation and disinformation are rampant. Media messages are mixed and confusing. How do we best support those we serve? How do we connect with trusted messengers to help people make good decisions for themselves and their loved ones?

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will be able to understand the digital and social media information ecosystem and the threat misinformation plays in our society.
  • Participants will be able to describe at least 2 ways to combat misinformation.
