The director of public engagement for The Raising of America will illustrate different ways the series is being used around the nation to educate, organize and / or advocate for changes that promote young child and family well-being.  She will review the six elements towards a new conversation, walk participants through a five step planning process, and demonstrate the companion tools on the Raising of America website that can help viewers rupture the conventional ‘right choices’ and family bubble discourses and inspire further engagement and action.

Planning of health education strategies, interventions, and programs

Learning Objectives:
Identify seven different ways The Raising of America can be used to change the conversation with different constituents.

Evaluate companion tools that can turn screenings of The Raising of America from passive events into opportunities for critical reflection and action.
