Collaboration in Action: Toronto Public Health and Toronto Public Library
Toronto Public Health(TPH) is excited to partner with the Toronto Public Library on Your Health Matters (YHM) – a collaborative initiative designed to promote health and wellness. This project features a thoughtfully curated collection of health-themed books, with adult and teen collections selected in consultation with TPH.
These non-fiction books for adults and teens cover a wide range of health-related topics. Selected in consultation with TPH.
The adult and teen titles are evidence-based and cover a broad range of health topics to promote health literacy and support informed, healthy living, while the children’s collection consists of fiction books curated by librarians who are trained in child development and the evaluation of literature to present health information in a way that supports engaging in positive health behaviours.
YHM addresses a wide range of health topics including mental health, active living, preventative care, consent and more. This ensures individuals can find relevant information tailored to their specific needs and circumstances.
By working together, we’re making trusted health information more accessible, engaging, and community centered.
