Lead: Kate Hendry
SCDCThurs 2 Nov 1000-1100 Health Issues in the Community (HIIC) is a course that helps people understand what affects their health and the health of their communities. It's run by tutors across Scotland to support people to learn, but also take action on the issues important to them in an empowering and participative way.
The course draws on the social model of health which views health and illness as having as much to do with economic and social factors as with individual behaviour.
With community development at its core, the courses promote the values of equity and non-discrimination, and the idea that everyone should be able to have a say in decision-making processes that affect them and their communities.
If you’d like to hear more about HIIC, how it works, the impact it has and even try out some exercises then come along to find out more.
