About
Health knowledge every family can understand and use
Living Well Liberia is the community health education program of The Friendly Counselor Foundation, Inc. Our mission is simple: share clear, practical, and culturally relevant health education with Liberian families and communities.
We teach with pictures and plain language, and we teach together — through community discussion that welcomes every level of literacy. Whether you are a parent, an educator, a healthcare professional, a school, a nonprofit, or a potential partner, these materials are made to be used.
Clear
Plain language, short sentences, and strong visuals so the message lands.
Practical
Everyday habits families can act on today — food, water, hygiene, and care.
Culturally relevant
Content rooted in local foods, family life, and community practice.
What we teach
Topics that matter to everyday life
- Nutrition
Local-food nutrition
Building balanced meals from the foods families already grow, sell, and eat — from greens and grains to fish and fruit.
- Hygiene
Hygiene and safe water
Handwashing, safe drinking water, and clean surroundings — the small habits that protect the whole household.
- Chronic health
High blood pressure
Understanding blood pressure, salt, diet, and stress — and why quiet conditions still need attention.
- Chronic health
Diabetes awareness
Recognizing the signs, understanding risk, and knowing when and how to seek a check-up.
- Everyday safety
Recognizing health warning signs
Learning the signals that mean it is time to act — and helping a neighbor or child get care early.
More topics on the way
Our teaching series keeps growing with the communities we serve.
Teaching resources
Posters made for teaching
Select a poster to view it in full. Each is designed for community display and discussion — at schools, clinics, markets, and family gatherings.
Hygiene
A one-page community health guide on hygiene: washing hands, keeping drinking water safe, practicing food hygiene, keeping the body clean, and keeping the home clean.
Diabetes can be quiet
A quiet-condition awareness poster: diabetes can be present without obvious signs. A reminder to ask if you need a diabetes check at your next health visit.
Our approach
Built for the way communities learn
Pictures first
Strong visuals carry the message, so materials work for every level of literacy.
Plain language
Short, clear wording — read on its own or spoken aloud by a facilitator.
Community discussion
Teaching happens in conversation, not lectures: families talk through the ideas together.
