Program Goals & Education Topics

Program Goals & Education Topics:

• To promote healthy lifestyles and behaviors within the Gila River Indian Community

Over the years we have focused on providing education on diabetes and the surrounding areas; but, as the need for education expansion on other health issues grew, so did Community Health Education. Some of the presentation topics that we now focus on are as follows but not limited to:

• Diabetes 101
• Stress Management
• Personal Hygiene
• Hand Washing
• Head Lice
• Self-Esteem
• Healthy Aging
• Heat Safety
• Physical Activity
• Healthy Relationships
• Cold/Flu
• Youth Health
• Adult Health
• Elderly Health
• Men’s Health
• Women’s Health
• Other health trends as needed

The Community Health Education program is also a support program for all the other programs within the Tribal Health Department. We are here to assist other programs with their education and outreach as needed, while ensuring the information is revlevant and cultural appropriate.
