Greetings!

Welcome to this month's e-newsletter for the Find TB Resources Website (findtbresources.cdc.gov). The purpose of this monthly newsletter is to inform you about the featured Highlight of the Month, additional helpful resources in the database, and other updates to the website.

Highlight of the Month

This month's highlight is Within Our Reach: A TB Literacy Toolkit, from the Tuberculosis Coalition for Technical Assistance (TB CTA), Family Health International (FHI), and USAID. The tools were designed to educate TB and HIV patients, their caregivers, and their communities about TB and what it takes to complete a full course of TB treatment. The toolkit contains a flipbook, patient video stories, informational brochures, suggested games and activities, and additional resources.
