Familias’ Inspiring Work & Programs
Climate & Health Equity
Our newest program, Acción Climática, is focused on developing a plan for climate equity, emergency preparedness, health equity, and community resilience.
Community Health Workers
As trusted community members and frontline workers, Familias’ Community Health Workers (CHWs) support individuals and families as they navigate institutional systems, address social determinants of health, respond to health and social challenges and promote communities’ resilience.
Nutrition & Food Equity
Our Nutrition & Food Equity program builds knowledge about nutrition, food justice, and health equity for families. We offer our culturally specific nutrition and health empowerment classes, self-advocacy workshops, and fresh food box deliveries to families experiencing food insecurity.
Sexual Health HIV/STI
In 2021 Familias en Acción piloted Me Cuido Te Cuido: A culturally specific community health education class focused on HIV/ STI and sexual health for the Latine community. The goals of Me Cuido, Te Cuido are to decrease stigma around STIs and sexual health, increase health literacy around HIV/ STI and sexual health topics and to connect individuals to health resources including HIV and STI testing.
