Séances de base
These sessions provide an introduction to Community Health Programming concepts and how to adapt them to the exigencies of COVID-19, including prioritizing essential health services, the role of Community Health Workers, and caring for particularly vulnerable and high-risk groups. (5 sessions)
Session 1: Introduction to Community Health Programming
What is community health programming? In this session, Donatella Massai, Senior Technical Lead for READY, defines key elements of CHP and the necessary adaptations for mitigating the transmission of COVID-19 at the community level. Donatella also examines applications of CHP in varied contexts, and the related challenges.
Session 2: Prioritization of Essential Community Health Services
Aujourd’hui plus que jamais, les organisations sont obligées de donner la priorité aux services communautaires qu’elles fournissent. Au cours de cette séance, Daniella Trowbridge, chercheuse associée au Centre de santé humanitaire de l’Université Johns Hopkins, passe en revue les mesures à prendre pour donner la priorité aux services essentiels pendant la pandémie de COVID-19, ainsi que les actions connexes dans différents contextes humanitaires. Daniella présentera également certaines des principales adaptations à prendre en compte lors de la modification des activités de santé communautaire en cas de COVID-19.
Session 3: Role of the Community Health Worker in COVID-19
As the role of the Community Health Worker continues to evolve over the course of the pandemic, particularly where engagement with communities must be minimized, where can they be the most effective? This session examines Community Health Worker activities during COVID-19, and the adaptations necessary to ensure their role is safe and effective at minimizing COVID-19 transmission.
Session 4: Care for Vulnerable and High-Risk Individuals
Who is at risk for severe COVID-19 outcomes in humanitarian settings? This session reviews who is the most vulnerable, and addresses the challenges in caring for these groups. The session also touches on accompanying activities, such as preparing a household and training caregivers when there is a mild or suspected case of COVID-19.
Session 5: Cross-Cutting Considerations
This foundational session provides an overview of several cross-cutting sectors, including gender, mental health, and others; the impacts of COVID-19 on these sectors; and specific actions to integrate these sectors into community-level activities. This session also reviews the linkages between the three modules of this training series, and reemphasizes the centrality of the community in the larger COVID-19 response.
