Holistic Care

From the holistic therapies you are aware of, identify one that interests you. Could you integrate this holistic modality into your community project? Would it be applicable across variables such as age, culture and disability? If you are unfamiliar with any holistic therapies, please do a quick web-search!

• Reflect on the community needs you have identified, and identify a health promotion topic you select as the focus of the community program project.
• Think about barriers within the community that might interfere with improving health behavior outcomes.
• Consider whether there are community resources designed to address the community needs you identified and help patients overcome barriers and minimize risk behaviors (i.e., health promotion media, handouts, support groups, etc.).
• If there are no resources available within this community, think about the resources that could be offered at clinics and other community locations.
