- 1. HIV and CALD communities A directory of health promotion programs and resources
- 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
- 13. Recommendations That health promotion workers obtain and use the resource That the resource be updated on a regular basis Hold a national forum on HIV and mobile populations to further build capacity of health promotion agencies and identify programs or resources that could be supported at a national level That effective programs be assured of continued funding.
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 health with African communities.
- Picture shows Alison Coelho, who was at the time an AFAO Board member, who 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.
- Shows 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.
- Listings of resources specifically for service providers As well as providing a great overview of what’s going on in this space in your state/territory and around Australia.
- Australian health promotion programs and agencies are developing and implementing a wide range of projects and resources in partnership with peers and communities. These include music, video and drama activities, translated resources, community forums, soccer tournaments, cultural competency training, print resources, social support groups, outreach, peer education, advocacy, and internships.
- Give the forum a plug – 30 May, spaces still available, funding limited.
- 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.
