HRSA's Bright Futures for Women’s Health and Wellness Initiative (BFWHW) is designed to encourage better health among women across their lifespan. Its mission is to plan, develop, implement, and evaluate culturally competent consumer, healthcare provider, and community products that will increase women’s awareness and use of preventive health services. Target audiences include adolescent females and adult women, as well as community groups and primary care clinicians.
NEW BFWHW tools are now available to address the connection between mental and physical health. The tools are wellness-focused, evidence-based and easy to read and understand. Based on evidence and user feedback, the tools focus on three main concepts: Appreciating Self, Finding Balance and Purpose in Life, and Connecting with Others.
FREE copies of the BFWHW Mental Health and Wellness Tools are available in limited quantities from the HRSA Information Center at 1-888-ASK-HRSA or http://ask.hrsa.gov/. Online versions will be made available in the near future. BFWHW Physical Activity and Healthy Eating Tools are also available at the HRSA Information Center or online at www.hrsa.gov/womenshealth. Additional BFWHW tools coming soon will focus on Physical Activity and Healthy Eating for rural young and adult women, and maternal wellness materials.
