The It Takes a Village (ITAV) program is an ongoing effort by the Utah Department of Health Office of Health Disparities (OHD) to address birth outcomes disparities among Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (NHPI) communities. OHD has developed a culturally-relevant curriculum aimed at creating healthier communities and babies. The curriculum consists of four different workshops. Workshops are facilitated by two trained facilitators and attended by eight to 12 community members.
OHD is seeking up to 10 Utah-based organizations with a tie or influence to Pacific Islanders to implement the curriculum.
- Workshops will be implemented either in late October–November 2018 (fall) or late February–March 2019 (spring).
- Each organization will identify two facilitators who are required to attend a mandatory facilitator training prior to the implementation of the workshops series.
- There will be two facilitator training:
- The first facilitator training will be held the evenings of October 9, 10, 11, and 12, 2018 (2 hours each day)
- February 2019 (days TBD)
- Each organization will recruit eight to 12 community members who will complete the four workshops.
- Organizations may apply to implement the curriculum once (fall or spring) or twice (fall and spring).
- Each organization is eligible to receive $500–$1,000, depending on the number of groups (one or two).
- The $500/per group should be spent as follows: $300–$400 to pay facilitators ($150–$200 each), $100–$200 at the discretion of the organization.
