Description
Familias en Acción (Familias) was founded in response to the need for a culturally specific organization to promote health for Latino/x/e communities. The mission of Familias is to strengthen the health and well-being of Latino families and communities in Oregon.
Their services include:
- Promotores de Salud/Community Health Workers: provide COVID-19 support services, food access and health navigation services for Latino/x/e individuals diagnosed with chronic diseases including cancer, diabetes, end stage renal disease, HIV/STI and cardiovascular disease
- Community health education, chronic disease self-management classes, and Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP).
- HIV/STIs, Sexual Health: engage Latino/x/e communities in Oregon to help identify and implement community- driven solutions that address the impact of HIV in our families and communities.
- Nutrition & Food Equity: Abuela, Mamá y Yo, our Food Equity and Nutrition curriculum, builds knowledge about nutrition, epigenetic research, and advocacy skills around the link between food justice, social determinants of health and health equity for families.
