Yes folks it is true, that the alcohol industry has fully thrown its support
behind the concept of preventing alcohol consumption using a very slick
advertising campaign with web banners on sites such as the washington post.
It truly in comforting to note that the alcohol industry is so concerned
about our youth and are using the best of evidence based research to
"educate" the public about the norms related to drinking. Need to check it
out yourself?

NEW ADVOCACY WEBITE LAUNCHED FOR HEALTH EDUCATORS
Washington, DC – A new “one-stop-shop” website containing advocacy alerts,
Federal legislation, testimony, fact sheets, and other public policy tools for
health education and health promotion professionals is being launched today,
as voters take to the polls.
The Health Education Advocate ( www.healtheducationadvocate.org ), sponsored
by the Coalition of National Health Education Organizations (CNHEO), provides
a central source of timely advocacy information so that health professionals
can take a more proactive role in shaping public policy that supports
healthier individuals, communities, and environments. The site enables users
to search the status of specific bills, send emails to their Congresspersons,
access health resolutions and policy statements of sponsoring organizations,
identify advocacy training opportunities, and provides tips for working with
the media.
The new E-resource is an outgrowth of more than five years of collaborative
advocacy action on behalf of CNHEO members: American Association of Health
Education; American College Health Association; American Public Health
Association (APHA) Public Health Education and Health Promotion Section; APHA
School Health Education and Services Section; American School Health
Association; Association of State and Territorial Directors of Health
Promotion and Public Health Education; Eta Sigma Gamma; Society for Public
Health Education; and Society of State Directors of Health, Physical Education
and Recreation.
“This website is the first of its kind and combines the resources of nine
professional groups to facilitate consistent advocacy messages and action
among the nation’s health education specialists,” says Ellen Capwell, PhD,
CHES, Coordinator of the CNHEO and Associate Professor, Otterbein College.
“We want health educators to provide input into the political process not only
today, Election Day, but every day hereafter to improve the health of adults
and youth.
Founded in 1972, the CNHEO is a non-profit 501(c)(3) federation of
organizations dedicated to advancing the profession of health education by
strengthening communication and action among member organizations.
Collectively, CNHEO members represent more than 26,000 professionals and
students dedicated to health promotion and health education in all major areas
-- the community, elementary and secondary schools, colleges and universities,
worksites, health care settings, and international organizations.
The CNHEO has sponsored an Annual Health Education Advocacy Summit since 1998
to develop a core legislative agenda, build capacity and competencies of
health educators to advocate effectively, and visit with key Congressional
committees, Senators, and Representatives. For additional information about
the CNHEO, see

Passion- it is difficult to write about, but it has recently become my daily
mantra.
George Eliot said "It seems to me we can never give up longing and wishing
while we are alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and
good
and we must hunger for them."
Many of us (myself included) have lost or temporarily misplaced our passion for
our work. We know our work is 'beautiful and good" but we fail to
communicate
this to our colleagues, students, clients or fellow citizens. Our sense of
self-efficacy and purpose has given way to frustration, anger and despair.
Passion in one's work, relationships and life is difficult to maintain but is
essential for mental health, personal growth and self-actualization. Many
of
us are searching to find our lost passion and others have given up the quest
altogether.
It seems to me to be a critical time (since 9/11) in our life as Americans and
as health educators. Individually and collectively, we need to re-energize
our
lives and our work with passion, meaning and a sense of purpose.
Maybe we can use this listserv to re-instill passion for our "beautiful and
good" profession. Moving from duty to delight in our work is a sign of growth-
to do otherwise is to remain stagnant or regress.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step- Lao Tzu.

Mark,
I logged on to the alcoholstats.com site. I too am usually wary of the
"sincere" responsible-use messages put out by big tobacco and alcohol. But
some of the stats on that site seem to be positive and encouraging.
I know stats can be "spun", but I was wondering specifically what bothered
you about the site?
