5. Know Your Status-Community Action Plan
Identify/Define the issue
Informing community leaders
Initiate leadership action
Community engagement and consultation
1. Identify/Define the issue-
Having learn the statistics with FN and our region. We realized we didn't have a good idea what was happening in our community. Not a lot of testing being done. We knew we had some cases. And we wanted to get more people involved. In order to do that we wanted a flow on how things were going to be done. We wanted a plan on how we were going to move forward. So we met as a committee and worked on plan.

9. Everyone’s favorite stop
At our awareness fairs at each booth people collected coupons which could be turned in at the good food market for fresh fruit and vegetables YUMMY

10. Men’s Health Fair

11. Men’s Mental Health /Self Care
Both at our Men’s and Women’s health fair clients were offered haircuts and massages as a form of self care
Dried blood spot testing was offered at both fairs.

12. Meeting people where they are
Youth were identified as a priority population , so we had to come up with a creative way to engage them. High school students are bussed to a nearby city for school so we decided to offer education sessions to them on the ride home from school. We wanted to know what they knew and what they wanted to learn. Many laughs and lots of fun learning. now this term Addiction and mental health counselors will try the same approach. We are planning a joint session at year end.

13. Dried Blood Spot Testing (DBS)

14. Testing at the college
After we educated people it was time for testing , which we did in many venues, health fairs, college, community events, etc. clients commented that the DBS testing was normalizing testing, that they liked the idea of a 2 week waiting period for results as it gave them time to think about how they would handle a positive result.
