It is implemented through collaboration between organizations, communities, and disabled individuals. In contrast, IBR focuses on treatment within institutions and hospitals and can only reach a small population. Some key advantages of CBR include wide coverage, community empowerment, and sustainability, while disadvantages include lack of specialized training and unreliable community involvement.

July 2017 EdgeTalks - A new mandate to support community actionNHS Horizons
This document discusses the importance of "people powered" or asset-based approaches to health and wellbeing. It notes that while modern medicine is powerful, many still live with long-term conditions, so these approaches are important. Evidence shows that approaches like shared decision making, personalized care planning, and peer support can improve outcomes. The presenter argues that health professionals should partner with people and communities, focus on what matters to them, and promote individual wellbeing through practices like better conversations and collaboration. Embracing these approaches in their own work could make a big difference.
This document discusses working with communities for public health programs. It defines a community and explains that true community participation involves communities being actively involved in assessing needs, identifying problems, setting priorities, making decisions, and sharing responsibility for planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating health programs. The benefits of community participation include making programs more successful, relevant and sustainable by incorporating local knowledge and gaining community support, motivation and self-reliance. Health workers should get to know the community, discuss their concerns and needs, and support community organization by forming committees and selecting volunteers and leaders. Community leaders are important for influencing others and helping health workers gain the community's trust and confidence.

It defines engagement as "a process through which people can interact with an organisation in a meaningful way for mutual benefit." Engagement is most effective when it is a systematic process that is meaningful to participants and leads to positive outcomes. The document examines case studies of engagement strategies at Barclays bank and the Suma co-operative. It also discusses metrics for measuring user and employee engagement. Overall, the key lessons are that engaging users and staff are mutually reinforcing, and that consistent engagement can improve organizational culture and service outcomes.
Community-based Peer Support: A participatory review of what works, for whom, in what circumstances
Author - Dr Janet Harris, The University of Sheffield
This document provides an overview of recovery from mental illness presented by various speakers. It discusses historical views that lacked hope in recovery and modern concepts of recovery as a personal journey involving growth, strengths, and functioning despite symptoms. Recovery principles emphasize hope, meaning defined by the individual, self-management, social inclusion, and identity separate from illness. Treatment focuses on well-being rather than just symptoms and is a collaborative process where the individual directs their care and goals. The residential program described offers a recovery-focused environment over 3-6 months to build skills and independence.

A Perfect Storm for Population Health - Teaching PreventionPractical Playbook
This document provides an overview of a workshop on population health and community engagement. The workshop uses a case study approach to teach skills for improving population health outcomes. Participants work through the case study in small groups, taking on roles of different stakeholders to understand their perspectives. The goal is for participants to explore collaborative, community-based approaches to address complex health issues like obesity. The workshop guides participants through eight steps, including defining the problem, gathering allies, creating a vision statement, and developing and communicating a strategy. Feedback is solicited on how the case study approach and materials could support training healthcare professionals to work across sectors in transforming health systems.
1. It empowers community members by allowing them to have a voice in identifying health priorities and solutions. This gives them a sense of ownership over programs.
2. It incorporates local knowledge and perspectives that outsiders may not be aware of. This leads to interventions that are more appropriate and effective for that specific community.
3. It facilitates buy-in and support for programs from community members. When communities help design and implement programs themselves, they are more likely to participate in and support the initiatives.
This document provides an overview of community health needs assessments. It defines different types of needs, explains the purpose and benefits of assessments, and outlines the process. A health needs assessment is a systematic review of issues facing a population to identify priorities and allocate resources to improve health and reduce inequality. It involves understanding problems, potential solutions, and selecting issues based on impact, changeability, acceptability, and feasibility of resources. The seven essential steps of an assessment include clarifying the problem, breaking it into components, measuring its scope, reviewing current services, assessing alternative solutions, deciding care models, and setting success criteria.

I visited Touchstone Mental health which is an organization that helps people suffering from mental illness. The organization helps clients recover from mental illness as well as imparting them with the basic skills necessary as the clients get incorporated back to the society ("Professional Development | Touchstone Counseling Services Inc."). The organization employs professional clinical sociologists who help in providing care to its clients. The main source of funding is through donations from well wishers.
As an organization dealing with mental illness, touchstone mental health offers significant opportunities for the mental health workers to improve their knowledge as well as skills. It does this through providing classes, structured intern training programs and helping families undergoing transition from divorce ("Professional Development | Touchstone Counseling Services Inc."). Therefore, the organization was a good place and gave me an opportunity to develop as a social work student and professional.

For the Agency Visit paper, I visited Saint Luke’s East Hospital in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. “Saint Luke’s Health System is a faith-based, not-for-profit, aligned health system committed to the highest levels of excellence in providing health care and health-related services in a caring environment. [It is] dedicated to enhancing the physical, mental, and spiritual health of the diverse communities [it serves]” (Saint Luke’s Health System, 2015a). This hospital branch “offers extensive inpatient and outpatient services,” as any hospital usually does, but also includes 3-D mammography services, a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), minimally invasive surgery and the da Vinci surgical robot, and is a Level III Trauma Center (Saint Luke’s Health System, 2015b). While the hospital is capable of serving all ages, the surrounding community is primarily of retirement age. Nearby is the John Knox Village for senior living. Michelle Wales, the social worker I interviewed, pointed out that the patients, generally, are entitled and have “suburban” issues, although the number of uninsured is increasing (personal communication, January 29, 2017).
Saint Luke’s is a not-for-profit health care system comprised of ten hospitals in the Kansas City area.

8. CONTRAINDICATIONS: MOVEMENT IN YOGA
8. Introduction to Contraindications
Students come to yoga classes with a variety of physical, mental, and emotional conditions that should be given special attention and support by teachers.
While making clear the distinction between yoga teacher and licensed medical or mental health professional, as teachers we are responsible for creating a safe and supportive environment for all students, including those with injuries, depression, age-related needs, and conditions such as pregnancy and menopause.
Here we will look at practical approaches to working with students whose bodies, hearts, and minds (which are not really separate) indicate the need for special accommodation in classes or in one-on-one sessions. Bringing a specifically yogic perspective to this aspect of teaching starts with looking at and appreciating every student as the whole person he or she is, offering tools and techniques for using various challenging conditions to heal, feel better, and move into a deeper quality of integration.

Nursing management of the patient with Tonsillitis PPTblessyjannu21
Prepared by Prof. Blessy Thomas MSc Nursing, FNCON, SPN. The tonsils are two small glands that sit on either side of the throat.
In young children, they help to fight germs and act as a barrier against infection.
Tonsils act as filters, trapping germs that could otherwise enter the airways and cause infection.
They also make antibodies to fight infection.
But sometimes, they get overwhelmed by bacteria or viruses.
This can make them swollen and inflamed.
Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils, two masses of tissue at the back of the throat.
Tonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils, two oval-shaped pads of tissue at the back of the throat — one tonsil on each side.
Tonsillitis is common, especially in children.
It can happen once in a while or come back again and again in a short period.Nursing management of Tonsillitis is important.
A comprehensive understanding of the operations for management of Tonsillitis and areas requiring special attention would be important.

Jamkhed International – North America, Carrboro, NC
Empowerment in Jamkhed
(individual & community)
What is it? What are indicators? How to measure.
Lavanya Madhusudan, MSW, MPH
(Lavanya.Madhusudan@gmail.com)
June 18, 2016 CCIH Annual Conference
2. Why Jamkhed?
* Heard about Jamkhed’s success
* Wanted to see how it was achieved
* Learned that the key is community
empowerment - not just providing services
and health education
* Empowerment was the ultimate goal of CRHP
from the beginning – a steadfast commitment by
Drs Raj & Mabelle Arole (CRHP founders)
3. Goals of the Study
* Understand and document the processes and
outcomes of empowerment as occurring through
CRHP’s model.
* Develop indicators to measure empowerment
through quantitative and qualitative tools, for both
individuals and villages as a whole.
* Develop a definition of empowerment that reflects
empowerment as occurring through CRHP’s model.
4. What is Empowerment?
• Depends on who you ask!
• Subjective; shaped by worldview, values and
experiences
• Context-specific
• Multiple disciplines contribute = many perspectives
▫ Internal vs. external process
• Differing notions of “power” differing notions of
“empowerment”
• Is developing a “universal”, functional
definition of empowerment even possible or
appropriate?
5. Definition of Empowerment
Dr. Raj Arole:
▫ improving self-esteem and gaining self-confidence
▫ developing critical assessment and analysis skills
▫ identifying with others as a member of a community
▫ participating with others in organizing for
community change
▫ realizing environmental and political change
6. Empowerment & Health
▫ “Empowerment necessarily addresses the social,
cultural, political and economic determinants that
underpin health, and seeks to build partnerships with
other sectors in finding solutions” (WHO, n.d.)
▫ Emphasis on transforming power relations
(Laverack, 2009)
▫ Empowerment improves the outcomes of health
programs (more relevant, meaningful, and
sustainable) (Tsey, 2009)
7. Measuring Empowerment:
Considerations
• Unit of measurement?
▫ Individual, family/group, community
• Important domains to measure?
• “Universal” indicators vs. context-specific?
▫ Generalizability vs. accuracy and relevance
▫ Who is deciding what empowerment is?
• Use of quantitative vs. qualitative indicators?
8. Measuring Empowerment:
Considerations (cont’d)
Selection of conceptual framework/theory of empowerment?
▫ Individual agency + opportunity structure (Alsop &
Heinsohn, 2005)
▫ Conscientization (Freire, 1970)
▫ Developing sense of self + critical comprehension of
environment + cultivation of functional competence to reach
goals (Lee, 2001)
Measuring empowerment as a process, outcome, or both?
Empowerment as a means to an end, an end in itself or both?
9. Answers?
The answers lie with the community.
They are the experts of their own lived
reality, and know best how to define
and measure it.
10. Strategies from Literature
• START WITH THE COMMUNITY.
• IT IS THEIR EMPOWERMENT.
▫ Develop a definition of empowerment
▫ Identify process(es) of empowerment
▫ Identify important domains to measure
▫ Develop process indicators
▫ Develop a tool to track indicators
▫ Set up an ongoing review mechanism
11. Strategies (cont’d)
Use context-specific indicators
▫ Goal should be to track the progress of own
program, not compare with other programs
Important to measure empowerment as a
process and an outcome
▫ Empowerment is a moving target (context,
priorities and behaviors which define appropriate
indicators change with time) better to measure
as a process, but outcomes also needed
12. Participatory Evaluation
• Evaluation: a process of reflection and assessment
• Goals:
▫ Assess outcomes (of empowerment)
▫ Understand why/how a program works (process of
empowerment)
• Participatory:
▫ “shifting power in favor of those who are being
studied” (Springett, 2003)
• Evaluation should itself be empowering!
13. Participatory Evaluation
Process at CRHP
Phase 1: Understand CRHP model and how
to measure empowerment
Phase 2: Understand villagers’ view of
empowerment and most important changes
Phase 3: Develop indicators to measure
empowerment
14. Initial Findings of
Empowerment at CRHP
• Values in action = foundation of empowerment
▫ Health knowledge and skills
• Process of empowerment: role models and agents
of change:
▫ Primary: Aroles → VHWs → villagers
▫ Secondary: Aroles → Mobile Health Team →
VHWs/villagers
• 2 pathways:
▫ CRHP → health → empowerment
▫ CRHP → empowerment

20. VHW Quotes
“Money is not important in my point of view, but humanity is
very important. Because if I don't have money, I can work
hard, and somehow I can get it, but humanity should be in
every person.”
– Rambabai, VHW from Sharadwadi
“Because of this work, there is benefit for me also, village
people also. Village people benefit because I am doing medical
and health things for them, and benefit for me because I get
satisfaction from the work. For example if I am serving a
patient, I think God is there, and serve the God, because each
and everybody has a God. I feel happy in my mind also doing
all these things.”
– Rekha, VHW from Rajuri

24. Lessons Learned
Empowerment starts with individual spreads to community
▫ “empowerment is contagious”
Relationships, trust, love, role modeling, showing, teaching,
supporting
True community development/health programs should be
empowerment programs
Everything is related; can’t compartmentalize people’s lives
VHWs should be community organizers just as much as
they are health workers
▫ Community groups are extremely important
Adolescent programs are essential
25. Key Aspects of CRHP Approach
that Led to Empowerment
Strong foundation in values
Driven by community priorities
Focus on end goal of empowerment
Comprehensive approach
Integrated sharing of values and knowledge
VHW as a key facilitator of empowerment
Belief in human potential
26. Implications
• Need more focus on values as the foundation
for health and social programs.
• Many benefits of community empowerment;
need more focus and investment on
community empowerment.
• Need more studies on empowerment in the
context of health programs to identify best
practices.
27. Drs Raj & Mabelle Arole:
“Empowerment is not a one-way process.
It is not that we, that one set of people ‘provide’
empowerment for others who receive it.
Rather, like water from a well dug in a fortunate
spot, the power flows in many directions and
sustains those who may set the process in motion
as well as those disempowered for such a long time.
It is a dynamic process which once set in motion
transforms us, persons and communities.”
28. CRHP Definition of
Empowerment
“Sharing knowledge openly
with a foundation in human values
through insider relationships built on
love and trust improves quality of life
physically, psychologically and socially for
individuals and communities as a whole.”
