17. 4. Communicate
To really get your message across as a health promoter you will need to be adaptable and observant in your communication.
Different audiences need different language and methods of communication.
Seek feedback and pay attention to reactions.
When you’re not sure ask and avoid making assumptions.

18. Communication Skills
While activities like this are fun and engaging they also give people a chance to practice non-verbal communication.
This is one example of a skill building activity not only does it help build skills it lets participants experience success before tackling more difficult activities.

19. Tailoring communication
Know your audience!
Age
Literacy levels
Culture
Abilities, sensory impairments etc.
Gender, sexual orientation etc.
Prior knowledge.

20. Tailoring communication
Think about what you might be saying/implying unintentionally.
For instance we use unplanned pregnancy not accidental or unwanted pregnancy.
Why could that be important?

We provide:
Evidence briefings summarising research and advocating best practice.
Professional development training for teachers, youth/community workers etc.
Consultation advice and support including supporting policy development.
We advocate for best practice and rights as an everyday part of all of our work.
