Dear Friends:

We're expanding our outreach efforts to provide free preventive health workshops to Latinos in the Greater New Orleans Area and we need your help to spread the word.  Latinos are a vital and growing part of the New Orleans community and yet there are few resources available to them.  Planned Parenthood feels it is imperative to reach out to this community to empower them through education so they can live healthier lives.  Our New Orleans Education Outreach Program is tailored for Spanish-speaking populations in our community.    

The educational program we are offering is a workshop called “Cuentos” or “Stories”. The workshop uses a simple yet engaging teaching tool designed to encourage informal discussion and greater understanding of health topics. Planned Parenthood staff facilitates the workshop with groups as small as five or as large as 20-30. The presentation and discussion time can vary, but on average workshops run one to two hours and can easily be tailored to fit the needs, age, and gender of the audience.  Today more than ever, access to accurate health information is a priceless resource. 

If you know of a business, employer or community organization in the New Orleans area that might be interested in participating in this program, please pass this information along. 

At Planned Parenthood we help individuals and families make educated health decisions by providing a wide range of affordable health care and educational services in a non-judgmental, unbiased, and confidential setting.  You can help the changing Latino population receive the education and health care they need so they can lead healthier and more productive lives.

Please call our Magazine Street Health Center @ 504-897-9200 for more information.

All My Best,

Julie Mickelberry
Director of Public Affairs
