Colleagues,
You might be interested to know that research in the U.K., a summary of which is posted on the British Psychological Society web page, suggests that participating in adult education courses promotes well being and health. http://www.bps.org.uk/news/adult-education-found-boost-wellbeing . This is a secret that should not be kept!

Thanks, David!
I have put it out on my other networks. This is a good way to encourage health centers and outreach programs to refer patients and community members to adult education programs. If just being in an adult ed class can improve well-being, then just imagine the impact that these classes have when they address health literacy skills as well!
