Organizations
If you are an organization, working in and serving people living in San Antonio’s east, west and southside, Health Confianza would like to partner with you. All organizations are welcome to join this city-wide effort to help people living in San Antonio make the best health decisions for themselves and their families. We have various opportunities for collaboration, including:
Workforce Training
Please visit our Healthcare Provider page for more details about past, current and future training opportunities.
Community-Based Health Promotion
Are you looking to build the capacity of local, natural leaders, to engage in meaningful dialogue and priority health issues like COVID-19? Then consider participating in the Confianza Ambassadors program. We can provide webinars or in-person workshops for small business owners, high school/college student leaders, faith leaders, neighborhood associations, small media outlets and others. These three-hour workshops help local leaders navigate and understand health information (including from online resources), engage in meaningful discussion and problem solving with community members and share factual information.
If you are looking for an evidence-based strategy to build community capacity to address current and future health information needs then consider the Community Health Club program. Community Health Clubs (CHCs) are neighborhood or school-based peer groups formed to facilitate learning about priority health topics and to become advocates for health in their communities. CHCs are led by trained Community Health Workers, Promotores/as de Salud and other community leaders who facilitate weekly meetings using engaging learning techniques to share important health information and create innovative health messages.
Please fill out the Confianza Partnership Request form to request any health promotion trainings.
Confianza Scholars Grant Program
Are you looking for financial and technical support to design, implement and evaluate a COVID-19 prevention and health communications project? We are offering a limited number of seed grants up to $25,000, first come first serve, upon review and approval of application for community-campus partnerships serving clients in the 22 zip codes. We are seeking collaboration with community organizations interested in identifying the health literacy needs of their clients and partnering with UT Health to develop innovative projects addressing those needs.
Organizational Health Literacy Pledge Program
Finally, community organizations are invited to apply to be part of our pilot Health Literacy Pledge Program. Accepted organizations will identify Health Literacy Champions who will join a six-month learning collaborative, with mentorship, to learn how to improve health literacy and cultural standards at an organizational level. The organization will be asked to undergo a baseline needs assessment and to develop at least two policies that address identified health literacy needs and CLAS standards. A stipend will be provided to the organization. A certificate upon completion will be issued to identify the organization as a Pledge Member and announced as part of a citywide media campaign
