American Heart Month

February is American Heart Month, raising awareness about heart disease and what you can do to prevent it. Approximately 4 in 10 adult women have hypertension (high blood pressure), a contributing risk factor to heart disease. Hypertension is one of the leading – and most preventable – contributors to maternal death and to disparities in maternal morbidity and mortality.

Resources from NCTCFP and RHNTC can support family planning providers to learn more about hypertension prevention and control, and implement blood pressure screening into family planning and preconception health services.

National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month (TDVAM), focusing on advocacy and education to stop dating abuse before it starts. The TDVAM 2022 theme is Talk About It - a call to action to engage in meaningful conversations about healthy relationships and navigate what may be unhealthy or abusive.
Resources for TDVAM include love is respect - a National Domestic Violence Hotline project. Provided are action guides, a calendar of events, and a social media guide.
