Respect & Protect - InterHealth support World AIDS Day 2009
InterHealth support initiative that specialises in community responses to HIV
A strategic focus of InterHealth is to support facilitation network 'Affirm' who specialise in community responses to HIV and other health issues that overwhelm poor neighbourhoods.
Affirm is linked with InterHealth and the Community Health Global Network (CHGN) in a partnership for Global Health.
Affirm associates work together to expand the understanding and practice of Human Capacity for Response (HCR) in communities and organisations, with the vision that local communities can make decisions, care, act together and change themselves, influencing capacity to respond, transform and adapt.
Building on his international experiences with HIV/AIDS, InterHealth clinician Dr Ian Campbell is founder member of Affirm Facilitation Associates, a consultative practice supporting faith linked responses to HIV/AIDS in local communities.
