What We Do
The CDAC Programme
We implement a (non) Communicable Diseases Awareness Corporate (CDAC) programme that is an interactive, informative, and practical awareness programme in corporate spaces that creates the perfect opportunity to educate their staff on infectious diseases (HIV, AIDS, STDs, and TB) or non-communicable/lifestyle diseases (diabetes, obesity, hypertension, heart attack/ischemic heart disease, mental illness/mental health disorders).
What does CDAC entail?
- Workshops that are tailored to the time restraints of respective clients (e.g., half-day or full-day) and the health needs of employees.
-
A pre-workshop quiz completed on mobile phones or employees via a link sent to them before the workshop, to gauge existing employee knowledge on diseases, lifestyle choices and treatments (the point is that they don’t prepare or study prior so that we can understand if there is a need for health education).
This quiz will help your company identify which employees have an increased risk of several diseases. We will use their data (HDL, LDL, HIV status, TB status, treatment adherence, improvement of symptoms) to calculate their risk score for diseases before the workshops. - Our workshops provide up-to-date medical knowledge on communicable and non-communicable diseases and how employees can improve their lifestyles within their means of living.
- Awareness about pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV infection.
- Awareness about voluntary medical male circumcision.
- Practical demonstrations on condom usage and HIV testing.
- Informative video material on diseases.
- Informative video material on male and female contraception options in SA.
- Awareness about adherence to various treatments.
- Case-study group discussions & interactive/creative feedback sessions.
- A post-workshop quiz completed on mobile phones or employees via a link sent to them after the workshop, to gauge whether the workshop has improved employees’ level of health education.
- Electronic certificate of attendance.
- Linkage to care: post-workshop we provide free HIV counselling and testing, TB screening, and linkage to treatment centres or relevant community health stakeholders by giving employees referral letters recognised by the Department of Health.
- Linkage to care: post-workshop we provide free testing of blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood fats (triglycerides, free fatty acids), and linkage to treatment centres or relevant community health stakeholders by giving employees referral letters recognised by the Department of Health.
- After 1-2 months we follow up with employees after the workshop via contact details to check if help was received and how their state of health & wellness is post-workshop. We will use their data (HDL, LDL, HIV status, TB status, treatment adherence, improvement of symptoms) to calculate if their risk score for diseases has reduced post-workshop.
- After our workshops we provide written feedback to the company who sent their employees, and we highlight major issues in employee health or areas in which the company can do better and we provide helpful ideas to achieve this.
