Literacy for Life's HEAL Program helps learners with basic health literacy, a topic of growing importance in times like these. Thanks to generous funding from the Williamsburg Health Foundation, Literacy for Life recently held a HEAL class that was attended by 22 employees of William & Mary's Facilities Management department. Learners attending HEAL class receive instruction on healthy eating, medicines, emergencies, talking to the doctor and disease prevention. Surveys showed that participants significantly increased their health confidence and knowledge.
Like so many, our staff is learning to adapt to life in a world of social distancing. We continue to work hard to help prepare our learners with the reading, writing, ESL, health and digital literacy, and workplace skills they need for meaningful participation in our community. Online ESL classes launch Monday!
