In the Spring of 2023, The BLK+Cross partnered with Mercy Care, Georgia C.E.A.L., and ARCHI (Atlanta Regional Collaborative for Health Innovation) to create an 8 week Ambassador Training program and social media campaign to increase media literacy, help stop the spread of mis/disinformation around COVID-19 and other health-related topics, and drive vaccine confidence and uptake. The initiative included an inaugural Mercy Spring Health Festival, 6 weeks of social media campaign content creation, and an Ambassador Training Module on Storytelling for Healthy Change. By completing the training module, participants will learn how to recognize and respond to Mis/Disinformation in social media, as well as how to leverage culture in health literacy communications to have conversations, and develop campaigns that change our understanding, beliefs, behaviors, and ultimately, promote collective wellbeing. You may watch the video and training presentation below:
