Expanding Breast Health Initiative to Promotores Program in Contra Costa County

PPSP_promotoresSupported by a grant awarded by the Planned Parenthood national office, PPSP is pleased to be adding breast health information and education into our successful Promotores program, La Vida Actual, El Habla Actual, which provides reproductive health information and education for Monument Corridor residents in Contra Costa County. As part of the initiative, health educator and Promotores program leader Natalia Tocino attended a train-the-trainer program in Atlanta with Planned Parenthood staff from across the nation in late January. Now back home, Natalia will train our Promotores to include breast health in our regular communications about reproductive health, promote breast health through one-on-one contact at outreach events and trainings, as well as train the remaining and new Promotores to incorporate breast health in their outreach efforts.
