SCRLC Webinar: Lunch & Learn – Graphic Medicine: Engaging Communities in Health Literacy

As an introduction to graphic medicine, graphic novels and comics with a health, wellness or disease theme, with an emphasis on graphic medicine and health literacy and community engagement, this webinar is a chance to discuss what graphic medicine is, what resources and titles are available, and how libraries are using graphic medicine to support health literacy for providers, patients, families and their communities.

Graphic Medicine is a wide-ranging category that includes graphic memoirs, graphic non-fiction, and fiction for all age groups including adults, teens, and children. Graphic medicine works often address stigmatized or misunderstood health conditions, as well as the health implications of racism, homophobia, and transphobia. Libraries have used graphic medicine to reduce feelings of isolation by helping community members feel seen while also introducing new health topics to a wider audience.
