CDC



Every community can benefit from health education and the promotion of healthy behaviors, especially when you have health literacy skills and resources! Communities and families can help build health literacy skills at all stages of life, for example:
  • Community organizations can help determine local needs and incorporate health literacy strategies and activities.
  • Parents can arrange a fun family activity that teaches health literacy skills and healthy behaviors.
  • Educators can add health literacy principles into their curriculum.

On our Education and Community Support for Health Literacy web page you can find tools that will help you begin or expand your educational and community health literacy activities. Being equipped with the proper health literacy skills, knowledge and resources can help you make healthier decisions and can lead to a lead healthier life!

Health care and adult education communities are natural allies in efforts to improve health literacy
Early childhood and childcare services, schools, and community groups play a critical role in establishing and building health literacy skills, no matter a person’s age, income, or years of school completed.
Health literacy skills start early in life and are part of the process of caring for and educating children, adolescents and young adults. All children should graduate with health literacy skills that will help them lead healthier lives.
Communities and community resources provide residents with information, education, social support, and local health and social services. Community organizations can determine local needs and incorporate health literacy strategies and activities to contribute to the well-being of community members.
These resources will help you begin or expand your educational and community health literacy activities.
