Comunidades Saludables Ahora
What is Comunidades Saludables Ahora (CSA)?
Healthy Communities Now/Comunidades Saludables Ahora (CSA) is a capacity-building assistance program whose focus is to strengthen community action for health and develop personal skills. We assist faith based and community based organizations, health departments, and non-traditional partners such as universities, coalitions, Community Planning Groups, in their efforts to increase Latinos' access to HIV prevention, AIDS services and other health promotion activities through four community mobilization models:
 National Latino AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD);
Latino Religious Leadership;
Emerging Hispanic Populations; and
Hispanic Healthcare Worker Mobilization.
We help communities implement one of these models through technical assistance on the model, evaluation methods, and key skills involved in the models, such as social marketing, AIDS stigma, and cultural competence.
Our services include:
1 Community Assessment
2 Process and Outcome Monitoring of Community Mobilization Models
3 Coalition Building
4 Social Marketing
5 Developing and Implementation of Community-Developed Mobilization Models
