CDHN is delivering a Health Literacy Training Mini-series during April for people in communities. The series will consist of five unique training sessions. Each session will explore a different topic related to Health Literacy. The overall aim of the series is to increase awareness and improve knowledge and understanding of health literacy so that:
People have increased confidence when using health information and services and feel better equipped to make health decisions
Those who support people with health and social issues have a better understanding of people’s circumstances so they can provide the most effective and appropriate advice and help.
Each session has been designed to be interactive and participative with use of breakout rooms and Zoom polls and will finish with a short insight gathering session where participants will be asked to share their experiences of using health information and making health decisions.
Depending on the participant’s role and interest, they may wish to attend only one session or a number of sessions. Please note there are limited places on each training programme and booking is essential.
We organise Health and Wellbeing Days, Facilitation of Gentle Yoga, Cook It! programme, The Weight to Health Programme, Challenges and Choices, a Guide for Women in the 21st Century, Personal Development and Stress Management.
On 30 November the Healthy Planet, Healthy People conference will focus on the impact of climate change on health in Northern Ireland and Ireland - this one-day event is online and free to attend.
Good mental health is the most important aspect to a person’s physical and emotional wellbeing. In partnership with the Public Health Agency, our annual Healthy Working Lives conference will explore mental health at work and how to create a healthy workplace culture for better mental health.
Volunteering is a great way to make a valuable difference, no matter how big or how small the contribution may be. So why not start today and make a positive impact to the lives of deaf people and those with hearing loss or tinnitus.
