| The faith community has been integral to the success of social reform movements in the U. S. Throughout the centuries people of faith have engaged in issues of social justice - health care, civil rights, apartheid, environmental justice, reproductive rights, poverty and hunger. Now faith communities are collaborating with health care justice advocates, health care providers, health organizations to address many of the Healthy People 2010 leading health indicators that are linked to increased racial and ethnic health disparities. Faith communities working in concert with Healthy People 2010 can create dynamic partnerships for developing strategies and action plans to address these differences. This session will articulate how faith communities effect change through collaboration with health care providers and organizations to build strong and healthy communities through the development of strategies that will improve diversity understanding and outreach by health agencies, foster cultural competency and sensivity, promote lifestyle and behavior change, and lead to social reform. | |||
| Learning Objectives: 1. identify and discuss some effective strategies and barriers for building collaborative faith -based partnerships to implement health promotion initiatives. 2.
