National Health Education Week Launches Today!

National Health Education Week was created in 1995 by the Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE) to focus on increasing national awareness on major public health issues and promoting a better understanding of the role of health education.

What can I expect?

Inspired by SOPHE, the USM Training Committee came together last year in partnership with GuidanceResources® Online to provide all USM employees at no cost health education workshops to address the physical, emotional, and mental health challenges we all face today. This year the committee met and discussed managing stress and anxiety as the most important topics for their employees. So they got together with GuidanceResources® Online to put together the following line-up of workshops for this year’s National Health Education Week:

Tuesday, October 19

10 am: Tools to Handle Stress

2 pm: Managing Worry and Anxiety

Wednesday, October 20

10 am: Healthy Food Choices on the Go

Additional launch activities and dialogues will take place on Monday and Friday. Visit our site to register on Hopin for more details.
