Health in All Policies toolkit development

BMSG worked with the California Department of Public Health to review and refine its messages supporting Health in All Policies, an approach that considers how all of our public policymaking decisions impact health. BMSG has written a chapter on talking about Health in All Policies for a toolkit the department developed to help advocates make the case for why Health in All Policies helps protect physical and fiscal health, advance community engagement, and build relationships across government sectors.

Healthy Eating Active Communities

BMSG worked with The California Endowment’s HEAC Initiative to provide media advocacy training and strategic consultation as they pursued policy change in six sectors: schools, after-school, neighborhoods, health care settings, and marketing and advertising.

Healthy Youth, Healthy Region spokesperson training

BMSG worked with the Sierra Health Foundation to maximize attention for the Healthy Youth, Healthy Region report that the Foundation commissioned from UC Davis’ Center for Regional Change. The report focused on rectifying health inequities among young people in nine counties. BMSG advised the Foundation on the dissemination and media strategy for the report release and preparing Foundation spokespeople, including youth, to talk with reporters, policy makers and other civic leaders.

Improving how researchers and reporters write about health

The way researchers and reporters talk about health directly influences how policymakers think about it and, more importantly, what they do to promote health. BMSG collaborated with the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) to create two customized strategic communications trainings, which we delivered to public health researchers and science reporters attending the June 2013 Canadian Science Writers’ Association Meeting in Montreal.
