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.
