We will be running workshops on an irregular basis through the HCVME Community Discord Server The first was at 5PM Pacific on March 19th, the next will be on May 7th! The Fillable PDF and a .Docx alternative are available in the HCVME Community Discord Server.

Another way to download the SEM Grounding Exercise for you in a fillable PDF format which is exclusively for your own personal use and should NOT be SUBMITTED Click here It will ask for an email address to download it, this is for HCVME to be able to see how many times people have downloaded it, and email addresses collected in this way will only be used to send updates when workshops around the SEM GE come about. Make sure to click download in the first PDF reader!

For those unfamiliar with the Socio-ecological model here are some visual examples of variations on the model from different organizations.

This last one is interesting in the way it incorporates culture as an additional layer, from a sociological standpoint that’s largely unnecessary as culture is a component within each layer, so separating it is likely for the particular application’s emphasis on the importance of culture’s impact at each level as well.

I want to put this out there as much as possible. It’s a little bit of #brilliance from John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight.

I won’t be posting as much to my old blog, but recently Last Week Tonight has had some health related themes. Jeff is as much a symbol for lung cancer as he can be for liver cancer. #JeffWeCan is a cheeky idea that can give people a symbol for global anti-smoking, it can help countries fight the absurd corporate bullies.
