BHSC5491 — Strengthening Comm Wellbeing
This online course is a broad introduction to University extension education models that play key roles in the Land Grant University mission to bring communities together to strengthen rural health and vitality. A broad overview of examples from (but not limited to) food systems, forestry, and health and how to work in those content areas with youth, adults, families and communities will be presented. The objective is for students to learn skills that can be applied to strengthening community health systems or to their own field of study. This will be transdisciplinary, connecting students and faculty from different disciplines. Students will leave the course with skills and understanding of extension structure and functions that will serve them in their professional lives. prereq: Undergrad, upper div or grad student, instructor consent
