The objective of the ON-CALL project is to help transform areas of social and economic disadvantage into sustainable, healthy communities using an asset-based community development approach to promote health literacy.

 

Lay Family Health Advisors Curriculum

The curriculum will train a team of Lay Family Health Advisors who will be deployed within their communities to promote and improve health literacy rates. This curriculum will comprise a comprehensive blended learning training – face-to-face and self-directed learning – that will entail 100 hours. The topics covered will be: Pedagogy; Health Literacy; Networking; and Digital and Social Media.

 

Induction Training Programme

The Induction Training will ensure that a quality training outcome is achieved when trainers first deliver the new Lay Family Health Advisors curriculum to the Health Advisors.

 

Digital Toolkit of Health Literacy Resources

A comprehensive suite of media-rich mini-learning-format health literacy resources will be developed and made available in an online resource toolkit to support the Lay Family Health Advisors to improve health literacy rates. These resources will focus on 3 key areas identified by partners as being the ones where there is the greatest need for health literacy supports: mental health promotion; diet and nutrition; and preventative measures for healthy living.

 

Online Learning Portal

The Portal will be developed to support the delivery of all the above outputs. This will include an e-learning area for trainers completing the induction training; a bespoke social networking space where the newly trained Lay Family Health Advisors can congregate and support each other; and a suite of instant messaging tools to engage with family members, to share advice, and offer support.
