Inform, educate and empower people about health issues.
What does this mean? Similar to #2, not only does HEALTH EDUCATION go out to deliver prevention and informative programming to the community so do other staff within the health department.
Current Programs – highlight AD Unit, MA, IDRC, CLINICS and ARCH Nurse
Ideas:
-
- Develop a public health campaign about SA access to care
- Develop a call line to handle navigation of the SA system and market to the community
- Develop programming for the public about SA and the opiate epidemic, how it impacts the county and where to access care
- More culturally and linguistically appropriate services from prevention to treatment to recovery supports
- Reduce stigma campaign
