NACCHO recently presented a multi-part webinar series to help local health departments build capacity to engage in public health communication. The webinar topics were selected based on a two-part needs assessment that NACCHO conducted in 2017-2018 to determine local health departments’ communications capacity, capabilities, and skills gaps. Each webinar in the series is now available for on-demand viewing and has an integrated audio transcript. Please note that you must register to access the recordings. The presentation slides are also available.
