In this webinar, we reviewed available resources and materials that can be used to promote National Children’s Dental Health Month (NCDHM) and learned how to leverage this window of opportunity to build awareness in your community and strengthen partnerships. We had Smile, California present their materials and plans for NCDHM and Matt Jacob, a public health communications expert, shared tips and tricks to strategically promote NCDHM in social media and traditional media. Even if you have limited control over your own social media platforms, there was plenty of information shared to help you craft and curate messaging to be used in February and beyond.
Learning objectives:
- Identify materials and resources to support planning for National Children’s Dental Health Month (NCDHM) in your community.
- Learn how to package materials and approach media and partners.
- Brainstorm ways in which to implement learnings in your local oral health program’s plans for NCDHM.
We also want to share Matt’s previous webinars on KOHA specifically if you want a refresher ahead of time:
