Info

VACCHO works on a number projects in partnership with Diabetes Australia - Victoria. These include the Aboriginal Life! Taking Action on Diabetes program, which involves training and supporting Aboriginal Health Workers to deliver the Road to Good Health diabetes prevention program. In addition a number of Koori-specific diabetes education resources have been developed including:

• Feltman: a life-sized felt tool which can be used to explain diabetes and its complications
• Feltmum: an addition to Feltman which covers diabetes in pregnancy
• Pictorial guides: full colour booklets with minimal text which provide simple information on:

• Exercise & Diabetes
• Healthy Eating
• Managing my Diabetes
• My Feet and Diabetes

For more information on how to use Felman and Feltmum, you can view these training videos:
