We are excited to compile toolkits and resources to support our Communications Community of Practice! With support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, GIH created this community for communications staff to foster connection and information sharing among health funders. Join the community to foster peer relationships, accelerate the sharing of innovative and effective communications approaches, and identify strategies to combat misinformation and disinformation to restore trust in public health institutions.
The community of practice offers virtual and in-person learning opportunities, connects peers in the field, and acts as a hub for resources, including these sample documents, toolkits, and templates.
