Health professionals, clinicians and community leaders: Get the tools you need to prevent heat-related illness and advance equitable, community-wide solutions in a new Train-the-Trainer course by APHA and Climate for Health (@ecoamerica.bsky.social): climateforhealth.org/extreme-heat...
A graphic is titled, "Extreme Heat and Health: Strategies for Prevention and Action, Earn 3 FREE Continuing Education Credits!" Under the title are two illustrations labeled Option 1 and Option 2.   Option 1 shows a person with long hair in front of a laptop sitting on a desk with a window and plant in the background. The accompanying text says "Learn on your own. Individual training. Self-paced. Online." Option 2 shows a person presenting an image of a city with trees and a bright sun to three seated people. The accompanying text says "Bring it to your community. Group training (train-the-trainer model). Lead together. Locally." At the bottom are logos for APHA and Climate for Health
