From 4 to 7 November, the Support, Appreciate, Learn/Listen, Transfer (SALT) workshop was held, attracting 30 participants from various local NGOs, including Christian Action, Christian Family Service Centre, Haven of Hope Christian Service, Health In Action, Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, Hong Kong Red Cross, OXFAM, Pathfinders, PharmCare, The Salvation Army, and United Christian Nethersole Community Health Service.
The workshop empowered frontline NGO staff in Hong Kong to leverage community strengths to address challenges, prioritise people-centric approaches to health concerns, expand networks within the community health sector, and tackle health determinants and disparities. Led by experts, including Ms Marlou de Rouw, Board Member of the Constellation; Dr Rapeepun Jommaroeng, Instructor from Mahidol University in Thailand; Dr Nason Tan, Senior Lecturer from the School of Public Health, and faculty from the University of Hong Kong, participants learnt about the Support, Appreciate, Learn/Listen, Transfer (SALT) and Community Life Competence Process (CLCP) methodologies, which have proven effective in driving positive changes globally. Adopting the SALT-CLCP approach equips participants to facilitate community-driven solutions for various health issues in their line of work.
