Kyah’s EPICourse para el Servicio de Alimentos

Descripción del curso: 

La Kyah Rayne Foundation (KRF) fue lanzada en agosto de 2019 por Lisa Cohen en honor a su hija, Kyah Rayne, quien murió de un shock anafiláctico a la edad de 21 años después de ingerir un maní por error. KRF se dedica a promover la concienciación y la concienciación y la educación sobre alergias alimentarias. Creemos que al aumentar la disponibilidad de autoinyectores de epinefrina y educar a más personas sobre cómo usarlos, podemos salvar más vidas de personas con alergias alimentarias.

Este curso es presentado por KRF, en colaboración con la Universidad e Arizona y el Centro de Capacitación en Salud Pública de la Región Occidental (WRPHTC). Si bien la investigación sobre alergias incluye una amplia gama de alérgenos, como alérgenos animales y ambientales, este programa interactivo de capacitación en línea se centrará principalmente en las alergias alimentarias.

Objetivos de aprendizaje: 

Defina palabras clave, identifique alimentos desencadenantes comunes y reconozca los síntomas de reacciones alérgicas graves y anafilaxia.
Enumere los pasos para administrar un autoinyector de epinefrina (EAI) en una emergencia.
Identificar formas de crear ambientes de cocina seguros y limpios.

Social Determinants of Health

Being healthy is about more than seeing a doctor or personal health behaviors. Access to clinical care actually accounts for only 10-20% of a person's overall health. The rest is shaped by external conditions - where they live and work, how much money they make, or their position in the community. Explore the social determinants of health and their impact on health outcomes in this short course. 

Learning Objectives: 

  • Define the social determinants of health;
  • Give examples of ways social determinants of health contribute to disparities in health outcomes;
  • Identify strategies to improve systems and policies that affect social determinants of health. 

Target Audience: Public health professionals, health department staff, clinicians

Trauma-Informed Care for Undocumented Immigrants

It is estimated that over 11 million undocumented immigrants live in the United States; over 2.5 million of those immigrants live in California, Arizona, or Nevada. Because many are involved in essential work but do not qualify for most state or federal relief, undocumented immigrants have largely been left to fend for themselves while facing increased economic and health risks.

This course will describe the health status of the undocumented population in the United States and discuss the need for Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) when planning and providing services. It will outline the Trauma-Informed Care model as a way to approach undocumented clients that are facing trauma.

Learning Objectives:

  • Define undocumented immigrants and families as a vulnerable population needing specific strategies for care and support.
  • Discuss the model of Trauma-Informed Care as it applies to care of immigrants.
  • Identify specific interventions to improve the health of undocumented immigrants and their families.
  • Create a community model of care for undocumented immigrants that connects the immigrants population to resources on a local and state level that promote their health and wellness.

Target Audience:  Allied Health Professionals, Mental Health Professionals, Nurses, Public Health Professionals, Registered Dietitians

Bridging the Gap: How to Build and Sustain Effective Multidisciplinary Collaboration

When professionals, teams and communities collaborate well, they effectively bridge what we call the “justice gap” for victims of interpersonal violence and abuse. Bridging the justice gap through coordinated community responses, or CCRs, results in better outcomes for victims and survivors, more efficient use of limited resources, and healthier communities with less violence. This multidisciplinary approach is shaped by many unique factors such as population, locality, culture, resources, and level of cooperation and commitment of individuals, offices, and systems. In Part 1 of this two-part training, we will address assessing the needs in your community and identify concrete, foundational supports necessary for effective multidisciplinary and cross-organization/system work. In Part 2, we will share information and evidence-based practices and skills that promote clear and effective communication, diffuse and de-escalate tension, build trust among individuals and disciplines, and result in better outcomes for survivors and communities. We will also learn the three pillars of system change and how teams can use protocol, training, and audits to successfully change the system.

Target Audience: Health educators, social workers, dietitians, nurses, and legal professionals.

Advancing Food Safety for Public Health

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die from foodborne diseases each year in the US.
