SRHN Initiatives
Living Healthy Steuben!

Living Healthy Steuben! is a group of local individuals who meet once a week, for six weeks, in community settings such as senior centers, churches, libraries and hospitals. People with different chronic health problems attend together along with caregivers of those living with a chronic condition.  The group is facilitated by two trained community leaders.  It is the process in which the program is taught that makes it effective. Groups are highly participative, where mutual support and success build the participants’ confidence in their ability to manage their health and maintain active and fulfilling lives. 

For more information or to register, please call 1-800-346-2211.

Living Healthy Steuben is looking for leaders!  If you are interested in becoming a trained leader for this program, please contact the Steuben Rural Health Network at 607-776-9467 x-226.

The locally known Living Healthy Steuben! is the Stanford University Chronic Disease Self-Management Program.


The Steuben Rural Health Network receives major funding from grants through the New York State Department of Health, Charles D. Cook Office for Rural Health and the Community Health Foundation of Western & Central New York to be able to implement this program in Steuben County.

Building Public Will and Effective Coalitions for Teen Pregnancy Prevention – Advocates for Youth

 

 

 

Presenter:  Tom Klaus, Director of Capacity Building & Sustainability, Advocates for Youth, Washington, D.C.

 

Description:  For teen pregnancy prevention efforts to be effective in any community there has to be a community consensus that: 

a) Teen pregnancy is a problem in and to the community;

b) There are effective initiatives that can successfully minimize the risk of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection; and

c) It is important to implement those most effective and appropriate initiatives, even if there isn’t complete agreement on specific activities within the initiative. 

           

Most importantly, there needs to be strong public will to do what is best for the health and well-being of young people.  These are no easy tasks.  This workshop will examine ways that this consensus can be facilitated and public will can be grown.

 

Objectives:

As a result of participating in this workshop, participants will:

  1. Learn how to more effectively interpret the need for teen pregnancy prevention to community stakeholders;
  2. Learn the keys to reducing community angst and public controversy around the adoption and implementation of science-based approaches and programs to prevent teen pregnancy;
  3. Learn how to grow public will to address teen pregnancy;
  4. Learn how to facilitate critical community coalitions to create and enact action plans to address teen pregnancy
