健康信使

结束排斥的唯一方法是让每天面临这些挑战的人们帮助制定解决方案。智障人士正在指导我们找到健康工作的解决方案。特奥健康信使计划就是在这种参与理念的基础上诞生的。为了制定更有效的公共健康计划、改善健康系统并让社区支持智障人士的健康,智障人士必须在健康系统中发挥领导作用。

特奥健康信使是经过培训的运动员,他们在特奥社区乃至整个社区中担任健康和保健领导者、教育者、倡导者和榜样。他们带领团队、家人、朋友和社区追求健康的生活方式,并倡导医疗保健提供者和政府针对智障人士的健康、保健服务、教育和资源采取包容性政策。

自 2016 年启动健康信使计划以来,已有近 4,000 名运动员接受了健康领导者和倡导者的培训。详细了解他们的一些故事如下:
