This component funds full-time equivalent urban Aboriginal community health workers in locations that are not approved for Aboriginal Health Access Centres. The focus of Health Outreach Workers is to organize and facilitate health promotion, illness prevention and family violence workshops and seminars, refer clients to link with Aboriginal cultural resource people and appropriate health service providers/agencies as well as provide client support and home visits. In addition, workers will liaise with Aboriginal and mainstream health service providers/agencies to increase access to client services and to increase Aboriginal representation on health decision-making bodies. Aboriginal cultural approaches will be reflected or used as a part of the activities and services.
