Why are Educational and Community Programs Important?
Educational and community programs and strategies have played an essential role in achieving the goals of healthy people. These programs are designed to reach people outside of traditional healthcare settings, in settings such as:
Workplaces, Schools, Health Centers, Churches, and Community Spaces.
Each scenario offers opportunities to reach people using existing social structures. The program maximizes positive impact and reduces the time, and resources required for program development. People generally have high levels of contact in community settings, both directly and indirectly.
Programs that combine multiple settings, if not all four (Diabetes, HIV, Mental Health, Cancer Screening) can have a more significant impact than programs using only one parameter. Although stricken populations sometimes overlap, people who are not accessible in one setting may be in another (for example, “I do not have diabetes, but I have anxiety”).
The use of non-traditional settings can help to encourage the informal sharing of information in communities through peer social interaction. Reaching out to people in different contexts also allows for greater customization of information and health education.
The Health Ministry believes that educational and community programs encourage and enhance health and well-being by educating communities on topics such as:
· Chronic diseases (diabetes, etc.)
· Prevention of injuries and Domestic Violence Prevention.
· Mental illness (Depression and Anxiety), Suicide Prevention.
· Prenatal care and Unwanted pregnancy
· Oral health, Use of tobacco, or alcohol and other drug problem.
· Nutrition, Physical activity, Obesity Prevention.
What We Do Not Do:
- The Health Ministry does not practice direct health care, nor does it dispense or administer medications, blood tests, urine tests or other invasive procedures.
- The Health Ministry does not take place or compete with existing community roles, but instead collaborates and partners with them.
- We serve the mission of the Health Ministry in full compliance with the applicable laws, regulations, and health practice standards.
The Health Ministry belives:
Multiple influences determine health status and health-related behaviors, at various levels: personal, organizational /institutional, environmental, and political. As there are significant and dynamic interrelationships between these levels of health determinants, educational and community programs most effectively improve health and well-being when they address influences at all levels, and in a variety of settings.
Our Goal and Vision:
Our goal is to contribute to the improvement of health outcomes in our community.
Provide healthful opportunities to advance Physical, Mental, and Spiritual Wellness to those without access to resources. Our vision is for all people to embrace Health, Healing, and Wholeness without barriers.
