🎉 We are excited to share that we have a *NEW* Health Resource Library available on our website! Thanks to funding from the Harbus Foundation, a team of health educators and #MediaLiteracy experts curated a searchable database of resources, lesson plans, videos, and activities for K-12 health teachers. Curriculum topics include #DigitalCitizenship and #OnlineSafety, #DigitalWellness — including the potential physical and mental health impact of media use — education and tools for self-regulation, and media literacy skills applied to health information for informed health decision-making. What's more is that many of these resources are also applicable to parents and caregivers looking to start conversations at home about media literacy. Thank you to the outstanding team that spent countless hours gathering and reviewing resources and of course to the Harbus Foundation for supporting this work! 👏 Check out the Health Resource Library here: https://lnkd.in/ejY7mPBu
