Tick-Safe Community Presentations

New Hampshire is experiencing an increase in tick-borne illness. Because there are no human vaccines available to counter this expanding problem, prevention efforts must center on reducing encounters with ticks and preventing bites.
 

Tick-Safe Strategies for Outdoor Activities in NH

The NH Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Public Health, Climate and Health Program and Tick Free NH had sponsored community presentations on tick-safe practices: Tick-Safe Strategies for Outdoor Activities in NH. These community presentations encouraged the community to build regional capacity to identify and adopt evidence-based tick-safe prevention strategies to enhance community health, avoid disease, and improve health equity. This program’s sponsorship is no longer active. If you are interested in a community presentation, our trainers will be made aware of your request and will be scheduling with their personal availability until we are able to resume sponsorship.
