Multicultural Women's Health Education Project on Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)
The FGM education project focuses on:
- improving the general health and well being of migrant women in Australia who came from communities that practice FGM
- improving the services offered by health care providers to women and girls who have been, or may be, affected by FGM
- facilitating a coordinated community response to the threat or occurrence of FGM in Queensland.
Correctional Facilities Education Project
The prevalence of hepatitis C, B and sexually transmissible infections are much greater in people entering prison than in the general community. Hepatitis C, in particular, is a cause for concern, with approximately one-third of all people entering prison testing hepatitis C antibody positive.
HIV / AIDS, Hepatitis C and Sexual Health Promotion with Young People
FPQ, in collaboration with Queensland Health (QH), have been implementing the HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C and sexual health promotion with young people project since 2005. This project has four key areas:
- accredited training: this is offered as a CD based self-directed learning package
- customised face-to-face training: using a training needs assessment process with a manager or team leader, training in the areas of HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C and sexual health promotion can be tailored to meet professional development needs of workers
- resource development: the project maintains an up-to-date website with useful links, upcoming events, and information about current issues impacting young people. It is currently developing online learning modules to support people completing the CD based self-directed learning package
- regional projects: new this year, we will trial regionally developed health promotion projects in Ipswich, Rockhampton and Cairns
The target groups for this project are Queensland Health employees and non-government organisations that work with young people. Others are able to access the self-directed learning package or negotiate customised training on a fee-paying basis.
