𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭: 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 🌷
Last week, we came together over two days for an important and meaningful Health Literacy Project workshop focused on wellbeing.
We chose wellbeing as the focus following feedback from our community during previous workshops. Many members of our communities are navigating significant life pressures that can affect emotional wellbeing. At the same time, our communities have demonstrated incredible strength, resilience, resourcefulness and determination in the face of these challenges.
The workshop created a safe and positive space for community members to come together, share experiences and discuss how we can develop culturally and linguistically appropriate health resources that genuinely reflect our communities.
Importantly, we wanted these resources to acknowledge both our past and current challenges while also telling a story of our strength, resilience and resourcefulness.
We were privileged to have community members from:
🌍 Swahili and Kinyarwanda-speaking Congolese communities
🌍 Sango and French-speaking Central African and Cameroonian communities
🌍 Sudanese communities
🌍 Somali communities
We were also joined by health professionals, whose contributions helped ensure robust, respectful and constructive discussion in a safe environment.
A heartfelt thank you to Northern Queensland PHN for providing the funding that made these important conversations possible.
Most importantly, thank you to all the community members who shared their experiences, perspectives and ideas. Your voices are at the heart of creating health resources that are meaningful, accessible and relevant to our communities. 💚
Thank you as always, to our incredible volunteers who helped 🙏
