Steady Voices in Unsteady Times: Strategies for Communicating in Crisis
Monday, October 20, 2025, 2:00-3:15pm Eastern
Communicating effectively in times of crisis is essential for maintaining public trust and organizational reputation. It can also minimize the spread of false or misleading information. This virtual workshop was designed to support health funders’ efforts to effectively communicate while managing potential risks of ideologically- and politically-driven threats. Beth Tritter and Chrystal Okonta from FGS Global led the program. Participants learned how to prepare for a communications crisis and test drive practical tools for managing and responding. Working in groups, participants also worked to address a plausible and timely challenge using best practices and core principles of effective crisis response.
