Local public health agencies provide programs and services that promote well-being, prevent disease and injury, and protect population health. Our work, often done in collaboration with local partners and within the broader public health system, results in a healthier population.

Let’s normalize having questions about COVID-19 vaccines.

With so much info—and #misinformation—about #Covid19 vaccines, it’s normal to have questions. But how do you have a positive convo with those who are unsure about the vaccines? Tips from @WHO ➡️ https://t.co/qPN8znvmhs

What can you do if someone discloses that they are having thoughts of suicide?

Show you care. Talk openly about suicide and take all thoughts seriously. Connect the person to help and support.
