Project .05
A collaboration with a group of young people in Fitzroy and Richmond, this VicHealth-funded project aims to raise awareness about the negative impact of alcohol abuse. The project is particularly directed at young people of African backgrounds, building on a previous multicultural drugs and alcohol project led by CEH in the South Sudanese community in the city of Yarra.
Cultural Competence Assessment for Organisations – the CCAO Tool
CEH has developed an online assessment tool for organisations to be able to measure their level of cultural competence around pillars such as organisational values, governance and communication. The results can be used to improve the way services are delivered to communities from migrant and refugee backgrounds.
Coming soon… Cultural Competence Assessment for Practitioners (CCAP) – a tool for individuals to reflect on aspects of cultural competence in their work.
Hospitals and Translations
In collaboration with Victorian hospitals, CEH produced a best practice resource for practitioners to use when producing patient health information. The project also produced translated patient messages for Emergency departments to use in their waiting rooms.
