Attached you will find a toolkit, in English and Spanish, which includes key messages, social media messages, newsletter content, graphics, and resources that can be used to raise awareness about the importance of preventing Zika virus infection during pregnancy, and to promote protective behaviors among pregnant women. The toolkit is intended for continental US audiences but can also be used by partners in US territories.
We hope that you will use the messages in your outreach efforts and share the toolkit.
And, just a friendly reminder, we are still in "Bite back against mosquitoes!" week through the weekend- so please ask your teams to send out social media today through this coming weekend! Feel free to use your own messaging or amplify what is already on CDC's social media channels.

Many victims of human trafficking encounter health care and social service professionals and remain unidentified. Potential victims can present with a wide-range of physical and psychological health issues and social service needs, and the SOAR training aims to educate health care and social service professionals how to identify, treat, and respond appropriately to potential victims of human trafficking.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has scheduled ten (10) virtual and five (5) in-person SOAR trainings throughout August and September for health care providers, public health professionals, social workers, and behavioral health professionals. For more information on the launch of this resource, upcoming training dates, and how to register, please visit the SOAR webpage.
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and the Office on Women's Health (OWH) with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) worked extensively with experts and trafficking survivors to develop this training to ensure that the most pertinent information and resources were included.
