Health Promotion for Adult Literacy Students: An Empowering Approach is an award-winning instructional package that helps involve students in health issues. Each topic includes an instructional guide, a student workbook, and an audiotape to be used with the workbook.
Adult Education Act, Section 353
Of the nine original topics, the following instructional guides are currently available:
Child Safety: a Healthy Start: helps parents and caregivers create a healthy environment for children, both within and outside of the home. Learners recognize signs and symptoms of childhood diseases as well as understand the dangers of substance abuse. (1995).
Women's Health: Body Wisdom for Every Woman empowers women to take charge of their own health by examining healthy lifestyles and making healthy decisions. Prevention, detection, and treatment of women's health issues, including mental health, are included. (1997).
Alcohol and Other Drugs: Realities for You and Your Family is a unit of the Health Promotion for Adult Literacy Students series. This instructional guide clarifies drug use and abuse, prevention, and treatment. (1994)
Time to Think About Change is a state-of-the-art alcohol and substance abuse individualized learning activity program. Hudson River Center was asked by the New York State Department
of Correctional Services to help educate, engage, and energize inmates about the disease of alcoholism/substance abuse and the power of recovery. The resulting curriculum is composed of 120 sequential, one-hour, self-directed learning sessions targeted to inmates assigned to Special Housing Units (SHU). SHU inmates are either in solitary confinement or with a cellmate for twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week.
Training on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) was provided by Hudson River Center trainers to adolescent pregnancy caseworkers and community health workers. Hudson River Center trainers worked with the Leatherstocking Education on Alcoholism/Addiction Foundation and the New York State Department of Health to develop and implement the training on screening and referral for FAS.
