NATISHE is a skill oriented training institute that focuses on the development of training programs and presentation skills. In addition, health educators will develop a new skill set that includes planning and conducting outreach; providing short educationally-based counseling sessions in the clinic setting; and re-thinking their training initiatives to be more outcomes focused. It is designed to strengthen the wide-array of skills that health educators will need in the upcoming years through participation in plenary sessions, workshops and small group work. NATISHE is designed particularly for individuals in family planning settings, schools and community based organizations.
