The Friday Five – National Public Health Week
Follow and join the conversation with #NPHW and #NPHWChat.
The American Public Health Association (@PublicHealth) brings together communities across the United States to observe National Public Health Week (@NPHW) as a time to recognize the contributions of public health and highlight issues that are important to improving our nation’s health. We may be physically distant from each other, but now it’s more important than ever to come together, hence the 2021 theme is “Building Bridges to Better Health.” This week’s Friday Five highlights some of the virtual events happening throughout the week.

NPHW Student Day
Students are truly the backbone of National Public Health Week. That’s why each year one day of the week is designated as Student Day!

This 1-hour webinar is designed for public health professionals to gain insight from experienced mentors on how to get started in mentoring, how to build these mentor/mentee relationships, how to be an effective mentor during the pandemic, and much more.
