Myths and Realities in Communication: Promotores and Health Prevention in Times of Social Crisis

Myths and Realities in Communication: Promotores and Health Prevention in Times of Social Crisis

This workshop will prepare promotores and community health workers to transmit real and accurate information to the community through visual tools during crisis situations (natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics and others). The management of these tools will reach a greater number of people and will be a process of total and individual transformation.

Objectives:

• Promotores and participants will learn about issues relevant to public health, especially in situations such as natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics, and others.
• Promotores will learn to recognize and transmit simple and educational messages directed to the population, and they will talk about myths and realities in communication.
• Promotores will be able to assume a role in the health team of their community through elaborate strategic communications of prevention in risk situations.
