Health education workshops and presentations follow a harm reduction approach in providing audiences with information on specific health topics so that audience members can make informed decisions about their own health and well-being. Workshops are intended to increase knowledge, awareness, confidence, or skills around health information, activities, behaviors, or resources.
Workshops can be delivered virtually or in-person and are tailored to specific audiences upon request. Workshops usually last between 40 to 50 minutes and allow time for questions.
Learn more about workshop and presentation options below. If you don’t see a workshop related to a specific health topic that you are interested in, reach out to madieb@uw.edu. Please give at least 10 business days advance notice for workshop requests.
