Unit Health Promotion Reps

Unit Health Promotion Reps - MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

What timings work well? What is the upcoming training schedule like? How many members are likely to miss out on even hearing about an upcoming course or workshop because they are in the field? Are there other topics that your unit would be interested in learning about?

These are the questions that we would love to have answered by YOU!

If you would like to have input into how we deliver Health Promotion, have suggestions for briefing topics, can provide insight into how the delivery can be made more effective or reach more people, then you have the makings of becoming a Strengthening the Forces Unit Health Promotion Representative.

There are a number of units and departments that currently have Unit Health Promotions Reps. However, many Units still do not have Representatives. Duties can be as simple as receiving and posting the monthly Health Promotion package (poster with information on a particular theme, upcoming program/workshop marketing materials etc.). Additionally, Reps can also participate in quarterly or annual meetings where we solicit input for the various Health Promotion initiatives.
Starting this fall, we are seeking to coordinate quarterly Representative meetings. We can only be as meaningful or relevant as you, the target audience, guide us to be. If you need us to do more to “strengthen the forces” then we need your help. The wedge may be the simplest tool known to man, but there is a thin edge and then the rest that really makes the difference. Your HP team is the thin edge - you are the part that makes the difference. As 3 people, we can create a small dent. With Reps from all across the base, we can accomplish so much more.
