HIV and CALD communities: Mapping HIV health promotion
- 1. HIV and CALD communities A directory of health promotion programs and resources Presentation at AFAO’s HIV & Mobility Forum 2016
- 3. Building on AFAO’s mapping of African health promotion Feedback on the African mapping: •‘It’s a fantastic resource for research before starting a new project’ •‘I’d never thought of soccer as a way of engaging, but we’re now doing our own tournament.’ •‘It will help people think a bit more outside the box, especially in ways that challenge the stigma of HIV.’
- 4. The mapping aims to support organisations that work with CALD communities on HIV- related issues Each listing includes: •summary of activities •program rationales, aims and objectives •Information about outcomes & evaluation •links for downloads •contact details
- 5. Be more informed about the 'big picture'
- 6. Get inspiration & ideas for new activities
- 7. - Inform planning - Provide supporting evidence
- 10. Induct new staff
- 11. Find contacts and services interstate
- 12. Lessons learned Fantastic work being done Community control/peer-leadership is vital Funding uncertainty a significant obstacle
Editor's Notes
- In 2015, AFAO developed a resource for health promotion workers, HIV and CALD Communities: Mapping health promotion programs and resources, which lists over 70 health promotion programs and resources that have been developed to engage with CALD communities around HIV prevention, awareness and support.
- The resource is an update and expansion of AFAO’s 2013 mapping of HIV health promotion with African communities. The African mapping was evaluated before we started work on the CALD mapping and resulted in some changes to how we organised and presented the information, as well as giving us more ideas for how the mapping could be used.
- Alison Coelho from the Centre for Culture, Ethnicity and Health, who was at the time an AFAO Board member, launched the mapping at an African community meeting at the time of the ASHM conference in Brisbane in 2015. The next few slides will go through how you can use the mapping.
- The Table of Contents show how it’s organised – at a glance view of what’s happening around the country. Online PDF contents page is hyperlinked.
- This montage gives you an idea of the huge range of initiatives that are showcased in the resource, which include: music, video and drama activities, translated resources, community forums, World AIDS Day events, soccer tournaments, cultural competency training, print resources, social support groups, outreach, peer education, advocacy, and internships.
- One size doesn’t fit all, especially in relation to genuine community engagement and leadership around health promotion, but by showing the rationales and evaluation info about other programs, the resource can help you to think about how you might approach your own work. You can also ring the key contacts to chat about their listing if you want to find out more. Programs that have evaluated well may also help you in terms of providing supporting evidence for your own funding proposals and advocacy initiatives. Alternatively, if the evaluation wasn’t good, it might be a hint to steer clear of a particular idea, even if it initially seems good.
- You can also see what kinds of organisations and agencies other programs have partnered with – could help you think outside the square in terms of seeking support.
- The PDF hyperlinks to resources that are available online, or you can contact the agency for hard copies.
- The mapping will provide new staff with a great overview of what’s going on in this space in your state/territory and around Australia. This new edition of the mapping includes listings of resources and programs that have been developed specifically for service providers, which may also be helpful in terms of skills-building for your staff.
- You can also use the mapping as a referral tool, for example if you have clients moving interstate you can easily find contact details for appropriate agencies.
- Australian health promotion programs and agencies are developing and implementing a wide range of projects and resources in partnership with peers and communities. Community leadership and engagement are key to effective programs. Threats to the continuity, integrity and effectiveness of this work at both state/territory and national levels include changes to program funding criteria, competitive, activity-based tendering, and financial pressure. To do more with less. During the course of AFAO’s African and CALD programs we’ve heard of valued staff being let go because of funding uncertainty, and entire programs being defunded and transferred to different agencies, potentially resulting in disruption, lack of continuity and loss of social capital. It is crucial that funders recognise the expertise of the sector when developing funding criteria and that effective programs be assured of continued funding.
- Mapping is available online from the link on screen, some hard copies available (make sure we take some). Email me if you want more info about the project, or about the forthcoming forum.
