CONNECTED HEALTH SOLUTIONS

Kenny Neal Shults – Principal Consultant

Emily Hanlen – Education Consultant

Kenny has nearly 20 years of experience working and consulting with service organizations across the country to develop sound, innovative, and respectful strategies for engaging with key populations. He specializes in public health and behavior-change program development surrounding a variety of at-risk populations, including adolescents, men who have sex with men (MSM), intravenous drug users (IDU), homeless and runaway teens, and trans populations. As the CDC's Master Trainer for Street Smart, a multi-session, cognitive-behavioral skills building intervention targeted to adolescents, Kenny also travels the country helping adolescent service providers to build their capacity to work with youth.

Emily received her MPH in Global Health from NYU and now works in the field of sexual and reproductive health and education for high-risk adolescents. She is currently exploring the impact that non-clinical services have on risk-behaviors of teens in immigrant communities.

They will be presenting the following workshop at our upcoming conference:

MyMediaLife - Population-driven New Media Social Marketing & Branding

This workshop is designed to offer adolescent service providers a greater understanding of how new media can be leveraged for youth engagement, outreach, and community-level interventions by structuring opportunities for youth to create and disseminate their own behavior-change messaging.
