Story of Talking Health
In 2022, the de Beaumont Foundation published Talking Health: A New Way to Communicate about Public Health, which drew from the expertise of practitioners, as well as research findings from the Foundation’s 2018 Public Health Reaching Across Sectors (PHRASES) initiative. This book provided strategies and tools to help public health professionals communicate more effectively about public health, strengthen community partnerships, and improve outcomes in a post-COVID-19 world.
The book’s popularity led to the development of an in-person training on its key lessons and skills. To be able to reach more individuals, de Beaumont developed this on-demand version of the training. This new version of the training builds on 2025 research by the Foundation on communicating about public health to diverse audiences.
