In various workshops and conferences on wo- men's health, northern women repeatedly spoke out on several issues. These included lack of services, over-worked health professionals, limited choice of health care, distance to health centres and a general lack of educational in- formation. The Northwestern Women's Health Edu- cation Project was de-' veloped as a way to bring women in North- western Ontario togeth- er around these and other health issues. The project' is intended to function as a catalyst for regional women. Wo- men are encouraged to take inventory of their problems around a par- ticular health issue, and then work towards solu- tions which are appro- priate to themselves and their northern environ- ment. The sessions held are conducted not as a seminar, but as an open forum or an open dis- cussion. After nine months of operation, co-ordinators have gain- ed an ever clearer in- sight into the problems of women in the region. For the most part, the regional women wel- comed the co-ordinators enthusiastically, ex- pressing their need for health information on their various concerns. There was a marked in- terest in problems of women in other com- munities and how they were working to solve them. During the first year of operation, many of the target communities were changed to ensure a greater representation of women. Marathon, Terrace Bay and Longlac were added, while Horn- payne and Schreiber were deleted. The mother organi- zation, the Women and Health Sub-Committee of Decade, changed as well. The group was incorporated in Novem- ber of '82 as the Wo- men's Health Action Group (W.H.A.G.). As well as the project sub- the project - spawned a birthing sub- committee and an occu- pational sub-committee. The target group was adjusted somewhat due to the realistic and fi- nancial implications of trying to service special interest groups. How- ever, the resources of the project are being made available to repre- sentatives of Franco- phone, Multi-Cultural and Native groups. The overall goals of Year I, were to deliver a needs assessment work- shop and a _ needs assessment question- naire to the target com- munities. Over 800 sur- veys were distributed by project workers in outly- ing communities. Over 800 surveys were distri- buted by project workers in outlying communi- ties. It was decided then that Thunder Bay would receive the same amount of workshop delivery in Year II as the other communities. 'There have been 550 surveys returned to date. Of these, only about 20 are unusable. A major part of the survey was devoted to workshop suggestions. Responses included top- ics such as Reading Medical Information, Diseases, from pets to building Self-Esteem. Preliminary results in- dicate that parenting, nutrition, fitness, men- tal health, stress man- agement, alcohol and _drug abuse are many of these peoples' concerns. As a result of these surveys, a Cabin Fever workshop was formed throughout various com- munities. The workshop was divided into three stages: (1) to identify feelings (2) to look at causes for these feel- ings and (3) to identify realistic solutions for the causes. The workshop was given to over 220 women in a total of 15 communities. Many favourable comments were received. This year, various workshops were given on Women and Nutti- tion; these series being designed for an overall focus on nutrition. It was started with a film for a general introduction to the traditional point of view via a_ nutrition- ist. It included topics such as the difficulties of getting good nutrition for themselves and their families; advertising strategies; food pro- cessing techniques and the good, old, conven- ience foods. Co-ordinator Heather Woodbeck said, "Hope- fully they were made aware of the factors as their buying powers and the best values for. their nutrition."' Heather also men- tioned that they are considering another ser- ies on the "Cabin-Fev- er" workshop or possib- ly a session' on "Women in remote communities."' The co-ordinators would be interested in hearing from the various women throughout the northwest region, as to their concerns on health matters. If you have a suggestion for a work- shop dealing with any health issue, they would definitely like to hear from you.
