HWPP Funded Project Highlights
|
HWPP funded projects are encouraged to disseminate the results of their work to stakeholders - especially within the communities they serve. There are many ways that project findings, outcomes and products can be shared. Two HWPP funded projects utilized educational programs in 2012 to help share and build upon their work.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use of a Lay Health Advisor Model to bring Sexual and Reproductive Justice to Latinos in Milwaukee
On October 27, 2012, project partners brought together 87 people in a community-based summit. It was described as a family affair as it had multiple generations represented from the community.
The summit had three aims:  - Encourage family dialogue about sex and sexuality within the Latino community;
- Continue to discuss the topic of Reproductive Justice and Civic Engagement with community members; and,
- Provide an update of HWPP funded project progress.
As part of the summit, youth from the Centro Hispano High School shared a presentation on the work they are doing with peers. The presentation was well received. Parents asked questions of the youth presenters regarding information shared with peers. Parents were pleased that youth discuss all topics - from abstinence to safe sex. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fighting Cancer in Wisconsin's American Indian Communities  | Project Partners
*see web page for complete listing of project partners
|
Project partners hosted a community event on September 25, 2012 featuring Dr. Lance Whitehair, MD from the Center for American Indian Minority Health, University of Minnesota-Duluth. Dr. Whitehair presented on cancer basics, cancer and the Native American population and cancer prevention.
Later that day, Dr. Elaine Drew facilitated a discussion with attendees about project goals and the importance of the Community Advisory Board in shaping all project activities. Together, the partners seek to improve cancer programs and services for Wisconsin's Native American communities.
