Affirm Update

25 March 2010

InterHealth's partner organisation, Affirm, shares their latest news and projects.

Affirm Facilitation Associates, coordinated by InterHealth clinician Dr Ian Campbell, partners with Community Health Global Network (CHGN) and InterHealth. Linked by a shared vision, Affirm get actively involved in stimulating global health using common key strengths and shared experience.

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.

Latest news

Affirm have recently been focusing their efforts on the following priorities:

• Applying knowledge on post-tsunami neighbourhood counselling to the Haiti earthquake, in Boston (USA).
   
• Pursuing a more systematic SALT approach to immigrant communities living with and affected by HIV, in Woking (UK).
   
• Looking forward to HIV prevention refresher training in countries, with partners such as UNAIDS and the Consolation for AIDS Competence. The second phase of this training with UNAIDS (Geneva) is now complete.
   
• Moving ahead with the USPG HIV and PHC project ‘Hands on Health’ in Ghana.
   
• Potentially developing collaboration with Build It International.
   
• Hoping for a meeting in India this year to clarify what we are learning about movements for response.
