Health Literacy Workshop
A panel on health literacy: the basics school tends to skip.
Michelle Beyrle · Deputy Executive Director, El Paso County Public Health
Health literacy, made accessible.
ABLE Health organizes free webinars and workshops that teach practical health knowledge and open a window into healthcare careers, for students who might never get that exposure otherwise.
Free courses
Learn it at your own pace, and earn a certificate.
Four short, self-paced courses on the health skills school leaves out, and on careers in health care, with a quiz in every lesson and a certificate with your name on it for each course you finish. No account, no cost.
- Health Literacy: Taking Charge of Your HealthTrustworthy health information, navigating health care, medicines, food labels, sleep and mental health, and emergencies.
- Fitness & Nutrition: Fueling an Active LifeFood as fuel, building meals, hydration, how much activity you need, exercising safely, and a healthy relationship with food.
- Mental Health & WellbeingEmotions and stress, knowing the signs, helping a friend, relationships and digital life, and building resilience.
- Careers in Health CareThe range of health careers, physicians and PAs, nursing and allied health, public health and behind the scenes, and getting started now.
Webinars and workshops that school skips over.
A lot of essential health knowledge, how to read a nutrition label, what to do in an emergency, how the healthcare system actually works, never makes it into a classroom. ABLE Health runs sessions that fill those gaps in plain language.
We also help students who are curious about medicine, nursing, or public health see what those paths really look like, straight from people already on them.

“It was my absolute pleasure to participate in a health literacy session as part of ABLE Initiatives. I love the idea of expanding educational resources and specialized topics to students; I wish something like this had existed when I was younger! I was incredibly impressed by the level of organization, planning, and thoughtfulness that the students brought to this session. It was well organized and well executed. This is a fantastic initiative—well done to all involved!”
