1 ENGAGING TARGET POPULATIONS TO MAKE EFFECTIVE, SUSTAINABLE, POLICY, SYSTEM AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE Chera Sevcik, MS Jessica Seide Sandy Lorenz, MA
2 STATEWIDE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (SHIP) Passed by the 2008 legislature as part of Minnesota Health Reform. Minnesota Department of Health awarded funds that covered all Community Health Boards and 7 of 9 tribal governments. Uses sustainable Policy-System-Environmental (PSE) approach to improving health. Targets four sectors: Community, School, Worksite, Health Care Organization
3 FARIBAULT, MARTIN & WATONWAN COUNTIES SHIP BACKGROUND Faribault, Martin & Watonwan (FMW) Counties received a SHIP grant to work in schools, worksites, health care organizations and communities
4 UTILIZING COMMUNITY LEADERS FMW SHIP established an active Community Leadership Team to guide and oversee SHIP efforts. County-level steering committees were started to provide input and recommendations to the CLT Grassroots, innovation and sustainability were the primary goals of our project resulting in providing mini-grant awards to communities, schools, worksites and health care organizations to help implement SHIP work.
5 DETERMINING STRATEGIES Fall FMW SHIP conducted a comprehensive community assessment which included: Community Surveys 7 Focus Groups Key Informant Interviews Community Mapping Reviewing Existing Data Assessment data combined with Steering Committee recommendations allowed FMW CLT to select 6 strategies Community Nutrition, Community Physical Activity, School Nutrition, School Physical Activity, Worksite Wellness and Health Care Referral
6 DECIDING ON MINI-GRANTS Mini-grants allowed for innovation, communitycontrol and grassroots implementation of SHIP efforts Allowed community champions to take ideas and run FMW SHIP awarded 23 mini-grants impacting over 30 sites This is a story about a few of those projects.
7 WATONWAN COUNTY LATINO WELLNESS COUNCIL
8 ABOUT WATONWAN COUNTY Population of 11,211 Highest Per-Capita Latino Population in the State of MN at 21% 11% of population living below poverty
9 CULTURAL BARRIERS Language County of Origin (Not all are Hispanic!) Cultural Values Emphasis on Family & Community Cultural Celebrations Cultural differences with lifestyles Foods, Exercise/Physical Activity Obtaining Medical Care Understanding the need for Prevention Levels of understanding with PSE change
10 OVERCOMING BARRIERS 1. Identifying a champion(s) in the community! 2. Brainstorming possible ways to work on PSE changes that fits Latino values, culture and beliefs. 3. Thinking outside of the box trying things we had not tried before. 4. Developing a relationship with the community 5. Go where they already are (workplaces, schools, churches) 6. Work schedule can be prohibitive
11 OUR IDEA: LATINO WELLNESS COUNCIL FMW SHIP awarded a mini-grant to form a Latino Wellness Council Our goals: Engaging Latinos in a community assessment process to better understand their wants and needs in terms of nutrition, physical activity, health care and worksite health; Implementing policy, systems and environmental changes as well as health programming to improve the health of the population;
12 LATINO WELLNESS COUNCIL Goals Cont d Identifying external grant opportunities to increase funding for these initiatives; Introducing American culture to Latino immigrants; and Identifying ways to engage the Latino population to participate in health initiatives.
13 A SLOW START Recruitment was slow, but eventually we found the right people Ellen utilized her connections with Tony Downs Foods (70% of the employees are Latino) and found Latinos interested and committed First Latino Council Meeting Held Fall 2010 at local Hotel 10 Latinos came we provided dinner from local Mexican Restaurant Subsequent Meetings Latinos brought food to share Met at local church
14 DEFINING PRIORITIES The Latino Wellness Council members prioritized three key issues to address as a Council: The City of Madelia does not have a public space to play soccer, a culturally important sport in Latino cultures; There are several barriers in place that prevent residents from accessing local food shelves; and Latino Wellness Council members do not consider certain Madelia City streets to be safe for walking for themselves and especially for their children.
15 A PROPOSAL FOR CHANGE Latino Council tackled first priority - Community Soccer Field Meeting with City Administrator to identify public property large enough Proposal drafted & set date to present to city council. Proposal overviewed to City Council by Chera Sevcik and Latino Wellness Council.
16 A PROPOSAL FOR CHANGE City Council voted unanimously to approve proposal which included city commitment to maintain field. The field was prepared and ready for use in Summer 2011.
17 OTHER STRATEGIES Community Nutrition Latino Wellness Council is working with: Plaza Morena Mexican Restaurant to label healthier items on the menu With local food shelf directors to increase access to healthier and more culturally appropriate foods. Community Physical Activity Engaging Community Leaders/Decision-makers in a Walkability Assessment and encouraging safer walking conditions to schools, stores and churches from Latino neighborhoods
18 LESSONS LEARNED It takes time to build a council. Make participation convenient and comfortable. Focus efforts on what moves the community. Choose a facilitator that can bridge between Latino and mainstream culture. Take time to understand cultural perspectives on prevention. Capitalize on opportunities for change. Staff support is critical to moving forward.
19 PLANS FOR THE FUTURE Continue to build the council focusing on continued recruitment, which may change with priority areas. Continue to meet, ensure value to council and provide them with ways to improve their community AND the entire community. Continue defining priorities and working towards culturally appropriate solutions.
