SUMMARY:Mat-Su Health Foundation PhotoVoice Exhibition & Focus Group: Talkeetna
DESCRIPTION:The Mat-Su Health Foundation (MSHF) is hosting a photovoice exhibition and focus groups at four Mat-Su locations the week of July 25\, 2022. Photovoice is a form of participatory research that enables community members to take a leading role collecting\, analyzing and reporting data. The photovoice project was part of the foundation's 2019 Community Health Needs Assessment and will also inform the 2022 assessment. Using the photovoice process\, groups of people came together to take pictures that answered specific questions about factors that promote and hinder health in the community. The photos were briefly displayed in 2019 but the exhibit was put on hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\nAt the upcoming events residents will have the opportunity to provide input informally while viewing the exhibit and are also invited to participate in focus groups at specific times.\n\nThe photovoice project will be on display at the following locations. It is free and open to the public.\n\n\n\n \n\nWasilla   Mat-Su Health Foundation\, 777 N. Crusey St.\n\nMonday\, July 25 and Tuesday\, July 26\n\nExhibit: 10:00 a.m.   5 p.m. each day\n\nFocus Group: Tuesday\, July 26 at 4 p.m.\n\nSutton Public Library\n\nWednesday\, July 27\n\nExhibit 10 a.m.   5 p.m.\n\nFocus Group: 4 p.m.\n\nTalkeetna Public Library\n\nThursday\, July 28\n\nExhibit 3   6 p.m.\n\nFocus Group: 4 p.m.\n\nPalmer Public Library\n\nFriday\, July 29\n\nExhibit: 10 a.m.   5 p.m.\n\nFocus Group: 12 p.m.\n\nThe Mat-Su Health Foundation started the photovoice project because traditional methodology used in previous assessments\, such as Census and survey data and community meetings\, were not adequately capturing the voices of all Mat-Su residents. Voices of people such as youth\, those without telephones\, those who don't trust traditional systems\, including government\, and those who speak English as a second language or are recent immigrants and refugees were not being heard.\n\nThe groups that participated in the project were Chickaloon Traditional Council (three groups: Elders\, Women and Tribal Citizens))\; Kabayan Inc (Filipino Community)\; Knik Tribe\; Latinx Residents\; Mat-Su Health Services: Parents With Purpose (CCS Early Learning)\; People of a Certain Age (older residents)\; Williwaw Community Residents\, and  the Youth Leadership Council of  R.O.C.K. Mat-Su.
