The aim of this project is to improve overall health within children, young people and their families having unhealthy habits and lifestyles.
The project is implemented in geographical areas characterized by a high degree of immigrants and among people from lower social classes in communities facing great social challenges.
In line with the Second Health Programme and this annual work plan, it is the general objective of the project to develop a “community health counsellor” concept and associated training programme, enabling persons from informal community networks and organizations like youth clubs, local schools, sport clubs and ethnic associations to promote health among children, young people and their families. The training program focuses on the development of community-based knowledge, (inter)cultural understanding, coaching, communication- and empowerment skills and strategies for activities aimed at specific target groups.
