We can provide fully accessible webinars, including live captioning, ASL interpreters, materials available in advance, and translation of materials into Braille.
If you do not have an online platform to use for your webinar, we can provide one for you. Currently the County is using Zoom for most of its webinars given Zoom's greater accessibility. We will be able to create a Zoom link for your webinar and provide technical support. This service is only reserved for organizations that do not have access to an online platform, so please let us know if you need this service.

It's wonderful to be able to connect with people and discuss the facts about this virus and how to stay safe in our day-to-day lives. I see and hear people calm down when they learn the facts and that this virus truly is preventable."

Spanish webinar series
Every Tuesday at 5:00pm. Please email Project Coordinator Megan Holmes at megan.holmes@kingcounty.gov for more information
The purpose of the call is to facilitate a conversation between community members and Public Health — Seattle & King County. This is an opportunity for Public Health to hear from trusted community advocates and to provide resources about COVID-19 prevention as well as tools on how to deal with the stay-at-home order. The calls are coordinated by native Spanish speakers who are familiar with the culture and are established community members as well as public servants.

During these challenging and uncertain times, it is imperative to establish connections with all communities, but especially communities who historically the system has failed to serve.
Right now, immigrant communities are facing so many additional uncertainties, so it is our duty to eliminate language barriers and provide crucial information in culturally relevant and accessible ways.
In the long run, this investment can save lives and will result in a thriving and healthier community."
