Our Approach:
The 5-Step Empowerment Journey
The CAFEH Empowerment Journey is designed to guide you from the basics of health literacy to confidently advocating for yourself and others. Each step builds on the last, offering a clear path to greater health awareness and personal growth.
We give you knowledge to make informed health decisions, together.
Here’s how we guide you on your path to taking charge of your health:
01
Introduction to Health Literacy
This first step introduces you to health literacy—understanding the basics of health information and why it’s crucial for making informed choices about your health.
02
Know Your Symptoms
Recognizing your symptoms is key to taking control of your health. We help you learn to notice common signs and symptoms so you can seek timely help and understand more about your well-being.
03
Healthy Habits
Building healthy habits sets the foundation for a balanced life. We provide guidance on nutrition, exercise, and other daily practices that support your physical and mental wellness.
04
Speak up for yourself
Self-advocacy is about knowing how to communicate your needs. We equip you with the skills to confidently talk with healthcare providers, ask questions, and make sure your voice is part of your care journey.
05
Health Advocacy
Health advocacy means sharing what you’ve learned and helping those around you. This step empowers you to support your loved ones and contribute positively to your community’s health.
Through this journey, CAFEH helps you develop the knowledge and skills to take charge of your health, one step at a time.
