Our Services

While our capacity is limited, there is no limit to our ability to educate and train community leaders to carry out the mission. Our model is just that; we are equipping and empowering health representatives in participating organizations with the knowledge, support, and resources needed to carry out the mission of ending the downward cycle of health disparities within the African-American community.

• We train health representatives within each participating organization to teach participants how to be good stewards of the body with which God has blessed them.
• We educate participating organizations on available resources for medical attention, regardless of insurance.
• Our clinical psychologist provides training on how to minister to the emotional needs of those struggling with poor health, including crisis intervention, counseling the bereaved, and changing poor health habits.
• Health representatives also learn how to address the spiritual needs of people who are suffering.

Specific training includes:

• Detrimental effects of cancer, heart disease/stroke, diabetes, obesity, and HIV/AIDS
• Diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of these diseases
• Major risk factors specific to African-Americans
• Appropriate support and counsel for individual patients and their families
• Methods of early-detection advocacy
• Ways to promote healthy lifestyles
• Nutrition and exercise fundamentals
