National Healthy Homes Month 2019
"Growing Up Safe and Healthy: 5 Minutes to a Healthy Home!"
This year's theme, Growing Up Safe and Healthy: 5 Minutes to a Healthy Home focuses on the opportunity to protect current and future generations of children from the exposures to lead from contaminated paint, dust and soil; through the importance of home assessments and the impact it has on your health. During National Healthy Homes Month, we aim to:
- Raise awareness of the importance of Home Assessments and the impact on health.
- Educate the public about free local resources available.
- Encourage implementation of local activities and events in targeted communities.
OLHCHH has created a 2019 NHHM Campaign Resource Toolkit to provide state and local governments, Healthy Homes Partners, and all organizations with key materials and resources to help and encourage local implementation. The digital resource toolkit includes:
- Campaign Resource Toolkit
- Recommended Outreach Material
