2019-2022, Cohort 4

Empowering Hawai’i’s Homeless: A Diabetes and Pre-Diabetes Education and Resilience Initiative

Home / Projects / Empowering Hawai’i’s Homeless: A Diabetes and Pre-Diabetes Education and Resilience Initiative

Project: Resilience Hawaii

Resilience Hawaii is a social work, psychology, pharmacy, and medicine collaboration in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Wicked Problem

Homelessness remains a major public health problem in Hawaii due to complex systemic and social barriers. Effective diabetes (DM) and pre-DM management programs for the homeless are sparse or non-existent.

Approach

Our approach is to train healthcare students using parallel learning framework in virtual and real world community settings. This includes learning modules such as:

  • Resilience for Health Learners
  • Homeless 101
  • Pre-Diabetes & Diabetes at H.O.M.E.
  • Medications for Diabetes
  • Building the Patient-Provider Relationship
  • Leadership in Crisis

Impact

Resilience is needed to help tackle everyday issues and it is a trainable skill. By training health students from every discipline in resilience, they are better prepared for issues they will face in their profession and to build resilience in those they serve.

We will share more information when the project completes at the end of 2022.
