What We Do
Santa Barbara County Promotores Network members understand and respect the traditional beliefs of the Latino community and can help agencies integrate these cultural beliefs in their programs and services. They do this by engaging the underserved and marginalized Spanish-speaking recent immigrant community around strategies to enhance systems to improve community awareness about health and social service issues that affect them. We participate in health fairs, community forums, and peer-to-peer education and provide information on a variety of issues of interest or benefit to our community, such as:
· Childhood obesity prevention and parent education · Diabetes prevention and resources · Children’s oral health screenings · Low cost health insurance resources · CalFresh for families and individuals · Tobacco Prevention · Family violence prevention · Communicable diseases · Mental health, counseling, alcoholism and drug abuse · Cancer Prevention and Detection · Emergency Preparedness |
