Hi Everyone,

There are more and more health literacy coalitions forming around the
country. Some are well developed and others are just starting out. Those who
are just starting could benefit from the experience of those who have been
doing it for a while. Building coalitions takes a huge amount of effort,
time and "will". How can we help each other to smooth the bumps and make
this process more effective?

Today's question is: what advice would you give to those who are just
starting to build a health literacy coalition in their community? What are
the biggest challenges, and what helped you to get through them? 

I look forward to hearing!

All the best,
Julie
