National Health Education Week
Theme- "Healthy Eating: Every Bite Counts!"
Join the National Center for Health Education and the Society for Public
Health Education in celebrating
National Health Education Week.
We are inviting interested individuals, communities, and organizations to
promote and participate in a national initiative to help people develop
healthy eating habits for life.
You Can Make a Difference!
Start today to plan a "Healthy Eating: Every Bite Counts!" activity.
Nutrition plays a direct role in preventing and treating overweight and
obesity, important health issues facing the American public. With more
than 60% of America weighing in as overweight or obese, campaigns
addressing healthy eating are much needed.
You can find fun and simple ideas to get your community involved in
celebrating National Health Education Week by visiting the NCHE and SOPHE
websites where you will find a variety of materials for public health
professionals, organizations, schools, and parents. Materials include
tools for planning a community campaign; templates for gubernatorial
proclamations; sample press releases; school-based health education
lessons; and parent, teacher and practitioner resources. All materials are
available free of charge.
Remember, eating healthy can be done in school, at work, in the home, and
out in the community - Every Bite Counts!
