Ten Steps
American Leprosy Missions has developed a teaching guide to address cross-cutting issues common to many Neglected Tropical Diseases and other health conditions. Ten Steps: A guide for health promotion and empowerment of people affected by Neglected Tropical Diseases is available for download below.
As basic care at the community level is strikingly similar across diseases, the Ten Steps health guide will enable people affected, communities and health workers to identify and address common problems early, know when and where to refer, and understand how to monitor results. It encourages ownership and a person-centered, problem-based approach to learning where the trainer/facilitator becomes a “coach.”
