How can we evolve our current Advocacy 1.0 instructional model into a more effective Advocacy 2.0 instructional model? Glenn Schneider and colleagues found that there is no widely accepted definition of public health advocacy, nor a description of the essential skills needed by public health practitioners to operationalize it. If you can’t define public health advocacy, explain its component parts, demonstrate it, and practice it, you can’t learn it or fully engage in it.

Good afternoon, everyone! The National Safe and Healthy Housing Coalition (NSHHC) will be hosting virtual visits with congressional offices on Capitol Hill during the week of May 13, 2024. These visits offer both educational and networking opportunities for those interested in supporting healthy housing advocacy. Hill visits are being scheduled and coordinated by the NSHHC and will be conducted over a virtual platform. Virtual attendees will be grouped with other attendees and given opportunities to meet with staff from the offices of their senators and representatives. Groups will be led by policy staff and coalition members who are experienced in conducting meetings on the Hill. Training and materials will be provided before the meetings. No experience with advocacy or policymaker outreach is required to participate – all are welcome to join in the conversation about how to support healthy housing policy! Note that participation in the Hill meetings does not necessarily include lobbying; if you have an organizational restriction on lobbying, we will ensure that your participation in the Hill meetings is strictly limited to policymaker education. You can sign up to participate in the meetings here: https://lnkd.in/eYNW8Cmn Registration is open through April 12, 2024. #HealthyHomes #HealthyHousing #Advocacy #PublicHealth #Appropriations #NHHM24
