At Engage Global Health (EGH), we understand that health literacy is key to improving health outcomes and empowering individuals and communities to make informed decisions about their well-being. Our health literacy services are designed to provide accessible, relevant, and culturally appropriate health education to diverse groups, including refugees, newcomers, seniors, and adolescents. Through our tailored programs, we aim to increase health knowledge, reduce health disparities, and promote healthier communities.
We provide interactive health literacy sessions to various community groups, including refugees, seniors, adolescents, and newcomers. These sessions are designed to equip individuals with the tools and knowledge they need to navigate healthcare systems, make informed health choices, and live healthier lives.
We utilize a combination of didactic and participatory approaches to engage participants actively. Our sessions are designed to be interactive, encouraging discussions, sharing experiences, and learning from one another. We believe that learning about health should be a two-way conversation, allowing individuals to ask questions, express concerns, and gain a deeper understanding of how to maintain their health and well-being.
We cover a wide range of essential health topics that directly impact individuals and communities. Some of the key areas we focus on include
Educating communities on the importance of cancer screenings, early detection, and prevention. We provide vital information on how cancer can be prevented and detected early, potentially saving lives.
Addressing substance use issues such as alcohol, drugs, gambling, and tobacco. We raise awareness about the risks of addiction and provide strategies for prevention and support for those affected.
We focus on improving mental health by educating participants on stress management, depression and anxiety, suicide awareness, and family violence awareness. By fostering open conversations, we aim to reduce stigma and encourage individuals to seek help when needed.
We provide guidance on maintaining healthy lifestyles, with a focus on nutrition, physical activity, and weight management. Our sessions offer practical tips to make healthier choices and live more active lives.
In addition to our regular health literacy sessions, EGH organizes Health Awareness Campaigns to reach larger audiences and disseminate important health information. These campaigns involve:
We host sessions on critical health issues, offering accurate, evidence-based information to participants. These sessions are interactive and designed to foster open discussions about health topics.
We distribute educational materials, such as brochures, flyers, and digital resources, to ensure that everyone has access to vital health information.
We collaborate with other health and social services providers to enhance the effectiveness of our campaigns. By working together, we create a more comprehensive network of support and resources for the communities we serve.
Our programs are designed with the needs of the community in mind. We customize content to address the specific health concerns of each group we work with, ensuring that information is relevant and accessible.
Our team of experienced health professionals and facilitators is skilled at delivering health education in engaging and easy-to-understand ways. We use simple language and relatable examples to ensure that complex health information is accessible to all.
We recognize the importance of cultural sensitivity when providing health education. Our programs are tailored to respect cultural differences and ensure that the information resonates with participants from diverse backgrounds.
At Engage Global Health, we believe that health literacy is a vital part of creating healthier communities. Whether you’re interested in attending a session, partnering with us, or learning more about our approach, we’re here to help.
