<< Background >>Currently, the rapidly growing demand for medical services, the growing popularity of activities related to health, healthy lifestyle, healthy eating, including the use of natural ) data and their sources. For several years, there have been demands to look for new professionalisation paths that meet these needs. Therefore, there is also a noticeable lack of educational offers to organize the highly dispersed knowledge in the area of supporting the organization of family health processes. The areas of this process include physical activity, diet, mental health, relationships, which become even more important in situations such as a pandemic, especially e.g. are of particular importance for overweight and obese people, which are a risk factor for the severe course of many diseases, including COVID-19. This gap may be filled by health counseling, which in Western literature is defined as a form of professional counseling activity focused on disease prevention, health promotion and support for recovery processes. Unfortunately, in many European countries (both in Poland and in other partner countries) efforts to develop and implement such a solution have not met with a positive response so far, despite the efforts of, above all, the research team of the UKSW Family Studies Department and partner institutions - especially Universita Cattolica Del Sacro Cuore. As we know, Italy suffered the most (among the partner countries) as a result of the pandemic. The remaining partner countries have been affected to varying degrees by the Covid-19 pandemic, and have faced specific problems stemming from, on the one hand, varying levels of medical care as well as health counseling approaches. The best situation in this respect is in Germany, which has the best level of health care among the partner countries and there are attempts to develop a health counseling system.Populations are comprised of individuals and families who together affect the health of the community. Each family unit is an is an important link for maintaining health and preventing disease for public health and health systems because all family members may support and nurture one another through life stages. Family-oriented health promotion and family-based disease prevention are the most important addressees of educational strategies because the family is both a resource and a priority group needing preventative and curative services across whole life(Barnes MD, Hanson CL, Novilla LB, Magnusson BM, Crandall AC, Bradford G. Family-Centered Health Promotion: Perspectives for Engaging Families and Achieving Better Health Outcomes. Inquiry. 2020;57:46958020923537. doi:10.1177/0046958020923537).As describes Health And Family Life Education Resource Handbook, family based health education should focus on the development of the whole person (https://healtheducationresources.unesco.org/sites/default/files/resources/bie_hfle_resource_handbook.pdf), in that, it:•Enhances the potential to become productive persons;•Promotes an understanding of the principles that underlie personal and social well- being. •Fosters the development of health-related knowledge, skills and attitudes that make for healthy family life. •Increases the ability to practice responsible decision-making about health behaviour.•Aims to increase the awareness that the choices we make in everyday life profoundly influence our health and personal development wellFamilies are important players in public health. Yet, since no one pattern for healthy families is known (Barnes MD, Hanson CL, Novilla LB, Magnusson BM, Crandall AC, Bradford G. Family-Centered Health Promotion: Perspectives for Engaging Families and Achieving Better Health Outcomes. Inquiry. 2020;57:46958020923537. doi:10.1177/0046958020923537) there is the need to build and enlarge inter-family health potential. There is the need to foster higher capacity for family health systems to function appropriately in public health practice.<< Objectives >>Starting from end of 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has caused unknown erlier health crisis across the globe. Due to the current challenges of the health services, less attention and fewer effort have been spent on the prevention and effective health promotion. Especially immune-health promotion, wchih could be suppported with herbal medicine. The prevalence of the herbal medicines use is on the rise across the world, because of effectiveness and fewer side effects than other medicines.The widespread belief is that wealthy and socioeconomically advantaged populations tend to seek disproportionately more modern medical treatments and medications. But studies demonstrated that herbal medicine use is more concentrated among socioeconomically advantaged households. Our Project can be usefull to reduce socioeconomic inequalities in the use of medicinal herbs.The widespread use of herbal medicines provides an opportunity for family members to suport in self-management practices (Clement, Y.N., Williams, A.F., Khan, K. et al. A gap between acceptance and knowledge of herbal remedies by physicians: The need for educational intervention. BMC Complement Altern Med 5, 20 (2005). https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6882-5-20; Huang J, Tao G, Liu J, Cai J, Huang Z, Chen JX. Current Prevention of COVID-19: Natural Products and Herbal Medicine. Front Pharmacol. 2020;11:588508. Published 2020 Oct 16. doi:10.3389/fphar.2020.588508). Eg. how to use herbal remedies to simulate the immunesystem, as complementary suport during child-obesity treatment, childdiabetes treatment or nutrition problems.Family based health education should also identify factors associated with successful nutrition education interventions conducted in families (Tanas, R., Marcolongo, R., Pedretti, S. et al. A family-based training program for obesity: a three-year study. BMC Pediatr 7, 33 (2007). https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2431-7-33). Establishing healthy dietary practices at an early age is crucial.Our Project can promote empowerment in health from childhood and develop life skills and health competencies. A family-based health intervention can be used for better control of population’s health. Due to the strong need to respond to the needs of the transnational team, the development of 1) a methodology for the work of a Family Health Advisor 2) a model training program for Family Health Advisor covering areas (Resource-based family counseling support, Support for people with disabilities, Health promotion in the family life cycle, Basics of gardening, herbal medicine and herbal medicine, Dietetics, nutrition, Planning and organization of physical activity, Communication, relationships, coping with stress, Addictions, addiction prevention, disorders, Elements of medical knowledge, Legal determinants of health counseling) 3) FHA competence profile and 4) Analyzes of the conditions for implementing family health advisers in family support systems in Partner countries.Bearing in mind the analysis, the project is aimed at developing a professionalisation path for a family health adviser using the solutions and experiences of the participating countries, integrating interdisciplinary specialist knowledge. Initial assumptions assume that a family health adviser is a family health adviser is a person with professional knowledge in the field of a healthy lifestyle (e.g. eating behavior, eating disorders, addictions), the basics of herbalism / gardening, dietetics and dietary supplementation, combined with high advisory and communication (e.g. conversation, motivational dialogue, psychosocial support), knowledge about the family, its development and functioning as well as the issues of medical, medical and legal support (information on diseases, possibilities of obtaining support, etc.). A family health advisor is able to provide direct counseling support, as well as help in obtaining it and redirecting the family to the appropriate specialist.<< Implementation >>Has basic and varied knowledge allowing for advisory and information activities. He knows the boundaries of his activity and has knowledge about the organization of medical care and medical .The presented assumption is an opportunity to collect and systematize dispersed (approx.) Counseling activities into one, secured and coherent support system and its professionalization. In this form, it responds to the growing demand for health-related services.Activities:1) Developing results, including the Family Health Advisor training program, where a test training course will be carried out in each country in groups of 8 people - a team of 8 people will consist of 1 main expert and 7 trainers / experts - all will be experts in various fields related to the subject health, incl. mental health, nutrition, exercise, herbal medicine. This will allow to refine the Model FHA curriculum, identify any inconsistencies or gaps in the content of education, verify the adopted methodological assumptions, use tools (e.g. exercises and other training materials).2) Dissemination seminar / workshop - in each partner country, during which the objectives and results of the project will be presented, including the result O1, O2, O3, O4, i.e. a training program for family health advisers. On the other hand, during the workshops, participants will be able to check and test the elements of the model training program on their own. Instead of one big meeting in each country, we plan to do 3 meetings of 25 people (1 in each country).3) Short training programs for employees of partner institutions, i.e. a total of 4 trainings of 10 people, 2 person each from country partner. Training stays in (partner's country) will be objective at acquainting with the specificity of the institution and showing the developed solutions against the background of the implemented activities. Visits will be carried out in the workshop formula. Each visit will include partner organizations, selected practical institutions, and visits to the classes.As part of the training stays, the participating coaches / trainers of the partners will participate in joint (daily) workshops during which the educational content and methods developed within the project will be jointly practiced. Workshop participants will acquire knowledge / competences in the field of (1) types and specificity of health counseling, (2) programs and specificity of education in medical and peri-medical professions (3) knowledge and specificity of the disciplinary and methodological and didactic workshop of educating staff (4) integration possibilities practical classes in educational programs. Joint workshops are an indispensable element that allows you to learn about the differences and specificity of each individual countries, perspectives represented by individual institutions and the possibility of using the solutions developed by them.<< Results >>The main goal of the project is to professionalize the model of a family health adviser as a new offer of medical related services, and this will be achieved through the development of:1) Detailed methodology of work of the Family Health Advisor, including the scope of tasks and activities, competences and competence boundaries (in particular between the medical services sector)2) Model treining program for Family Health Advisors (FHA) (content, curriculum, course modules, learning outcomes) and the FHA quality management and professional development system.3) FHA competence profile (taking into account various dimensions of its functioning)4) Analyzes of the conditions for implementing the activities of family health advisers in family support systems in Partner countries.Additionally, the impact of the project on participants, participating organizations, target groups and other relevant stakeholders(1) Professionalization and quality assurance of health-related services. Project activities are an opportunity to organize and qualitatively secure services in the area of ​​medical support for families. This very dynamically developing area of ​​activities is characterized by the lack of recognized standards and work security. The standards developed in an international partnership will contribute to an increase in the quality of services and increase the availability of high-quality services.(2) The way family support is perceived and the paths of professionalization of people working with families. The project promotes a positive model of working with families. The implemented activities will contribute to the dissemination of such an approach, in line with the perceived need to support the family in the context of health issues and health promotion.It will also contribute to the dissemination of new models of working with families, supporting the activities of those people and organizations that try to reach a wider awareness with the offer of a developmental, positive perception of working with families.(3) Quality of educational activities in universities (3 partners are universities) related to health, including improvement of methodological and didactic preparation of staff. By developing high-quality educational materials, programs, and lesson plans promoting new and up-to-date solutions in the field of working with family health, it is expected to improve the substantive, methodological and didactic preparation of the institution's employees and - in the longer term - recipients of the results of intellectual work. This situation can be expected to translate into (better) student self-esteem.(4) Prestige and reception of the organizations participating in the project, including increased recognition in the immediate social environment of the participating institutions and their organizational units. This will translate into interest in the educational offer of partners and - indirectly - in non-educational activities undertaken by them (conceptual, research, implementation activities). The implementation of an international, ambitious project on a current socio-political topic and in line with the strategy and mission of the partners will improve the reception of institutions and engaged employees.(5) Level of internationalization of education: project activities will foster the intensification of exchanges between partners. Following the activities of the partnership, it is possible to anticipate increased interest of students and staff in participation in mobility activities, and greater opportunities to attract foreign students interested in the discussed issues.(6) The implementation of a complex, international project will support the development of competences of the participating organizations, allowing them to learn from each other and motivating them to undertake further initiatives.(7) Development of transnational cooperation.
