Today, the Public Health
Institute announces a comprehensive new tool to help all sectors strengthen
their capacity to address health and equity: Health in All Policies: A Guide for State and Local Governments. The
Guide was created by the Public Health Institute, the California Department of
Public Health and the American Public Health Association in response to growing
interest in using collaborative approaches to improve population health by
embedding health considerations into decision-making processes across a broad
array of sectors. The Guide draws heavily on the experiences of the California
Health in All Policies Task Force and incorporates information from published
and gray literature and interviews with people across the country.
In this Web Forum, Berkeley Media Studies Group will talk about how organizations can develop and refine their messages to support Health in All Policies and make the case for why Health in All Policies is essential to help protect physical and fiscal health, advance community engagement, and build relationships across government sectors.
Berkeley Media Studies Group has expertise in working with community groups, journalists and public health professionals to use the power of the media to advance healthy public policy.
On this Web Forum, the Berkeley Media Studies Group will discuss
how to:
- Identify the key components of developing an effective message;
- Shift your communications lens from individuals to the social determinants of health; and
- Develop answers to difficult questions about Health in All
Policies. Web Forum
