Public and Community Health Education

Contact our team

We teach, we table, we talk

Washington Poison Center is more than a telephone helpline – we are a statewide resource for poisoning prevention and harm reduction.

Our Public Health Educators provide practical, easy-to-use information to help you make safer, healthier choices. We share this information through:

Community tabling at resource fairs, farmers markets, school events, festivals, and more
In-person and virtual trainings
K–8 school curricula
Collaboration on health and safety materials

Wherever you are in Washington, we’re here to help.
