You are invited to attend the Health Communication Capacity Collaborative’s (HC3) third Catalyze event, “The Critical Role of Social and Behavior Change (SBC) across the Service Delivery Continuum” on Thursday, June 8, 2017 from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm EDT at the Capital Hilton in Washington, DC.
This event will explore successes, challenges and promising approaches in the integration of SBC along the service delivery continuum to improve health outcomes. Following the presentation of a new overarching model developed by HC3, a panel discussion will focus on grounded strategies which have been used to effectively integrate SBC to improve service-related outcomes across a range of health areas. All participants will be invited to problem solve and brainstorm around specific challenges and solutions through interactive break-out sessions related to service communication in their technical health area of expertise, including family planning, HIV/AIDS, malaria and maternal, newborn and child health.
We hope you can join us either in-person or via a live webinar for the plenary/panel discussion!
