Educational Programs
The Melanoma International Foundation provides a wide variety of educational programs to the public. If you would like to request a program, please contact Lisa Newcomb, our National Director.
Health & Wellness Fairs: Is your company or organization
hosting a health and wellness fair? MIF can staff a table, providing important information about
skin self-exam, sun safe behaviors and the the dangers of tanning salons. Frequently, we also have
giveaways such as sunscreen samples and bookmarks.
Lunchtime (anytime) Learning: This is our most requested
program and typically it takes place at a civic organization meeting (Lion's Club, Rotary Club,
etc) or someone's workplace. One of MIF's staff members will cover the following topics and open up
the floor for questions about:
* Melanoma: Who is at risk?
* Melanoma Prevention: pointers about sunsafety
* Skin Self-Examination to find melanoma early
* Opportunities to get involved with MIF
This presentation typically requires 1/2 hour. If additional time is available, we may be
able to take photos showing sun damage with our UV camera.
Early Childhood Program: MIF staff members are available to speak to new
parents groups regarding ways to keep their babies safe from the sun and develop a lifetime of sun
safe behaviors.
Sun Safe Play: This program is still under development. Stay tuned for more
details.
