This subject equips students with skills and knowledge about health promotion, community health and community development. Students will learn about: evaluating community needs and strengths; developing programs to meet identified needs and build on existing strengths; and how programs are planned, implemented and evaluated in a community focused, culturally competent and ethical way. This will be complemented by learning about funding sources, how to write a grant application and how to manage a budget. Leadership skills such as creating a common purpose, bringing people together, community engagement and community capacity building, will be discussed. Knowledge and skills developed in the subject will prepare students for working in community based practice in a variety of health and community settings.
