New Resource Coming Soon: Strategic Storytelling for Public Health

Public health professionals are often asked to explain complex issues, build trust and communicate clearly. They are often doing this with limited time and resources, while trying to reach busy audiences with competing demands for their attention.

A new online course from KHI Learning is designed to support this work.

Strategic Storytelling for Public Health equips public health professionals with practical tools to craft strategic stories that build trust, deepen understanding and drive meaningful action. Through research-informed frameworks, real-world examples and hands-on workbook activities, participants will learn how strategic storytelling can help them consistently connect with their audience in meaningful, memorable ways.

Be Part of the Founding Cohort

We are launching an early pilot of this course and inviting a small group of participants to help shape the experience.

Founding cohort participants will:

• Get early access to the full course (April–June 1)
• Work through six short, self-paced modules over several weeks
• Provide feedback to help refine the course and learning platform
• Receive a certificate of completion

Space is limited and participants will be selected to support a thoughtful pilot experience. Sign up by April 17 to be considered for the founding cohort.
