Praeclarus Press is Offering Discounted Webinars Throughout April in Honor of Minority Health Awareness Month
Amarillo, Texas (PRWEB) April 13, 2015 -- The U.S. Centers for Disease Control recognizes April as Minority Health Awareness Month. The theme for this year's campaign is: 30 Years of Advancing Health Equity! The Heckler Report: A Force for Ending Health Disparities in America. Praeclarus Press consistently strives to create awareness and support education for healthcare issues related to this topic, and is excited to announce special online education opportunities are now available through the end of the month.
For the entire month of April, please enjoy a complimentary webinar, Depression is Black!, with presenter Jessica Walker. Walker addresses the various ways to cultivate a relationship with African American clients, learning strategies for working with clients and patients who come from another cultural background. Included is history of the African American community, how members specifically deal with stress, and how to incorporate that knowledge into effective treatment. Register online and use code "MHAMWebinar" upon checkout.
To learn more about breastfeeding in the African-American community, registrants can receive a discount for Uncovering The Power of #BlkBfing, presented by Jeanine Valrie Logan and Anayah Sangodele-Ayoka, authors of Free to Breastfeed. This presentation offers listeners ways to encourage discussion through their social media channels and contribute to the changing cultural perceptions of Black breastfeeding and healing within community settings. For Black breastfeeding mothers and breastfeeding allies alike, this webinar counters the message that Black women don't breastfeed and allows the identification of tangible ways to offer support and engage.
