Healthy Women Project: Materials
The Healthy Women Project Provider Guide
The Provider Guide was created by CRIL staff to assist women in locating accessible places to have a mammogram or Pap smear. Staff visited each site in the guide and included only those who were accessible and willing to accommodate women with disabilities.
CRIL’s guide can be used as a blue-print by organizations seeking to create similar resources for their community.
The Peer Counseling Guides
CRIL staff created two peer counseling guides, one for women needing Pap smears (158 pages) and one for women needing mammograms (154 pages).
These guides can be used to encourage women with disabilities to overcome barriers related to providers, insurance, transportation, lack of knowledge, feeling depressed, afraid or overwhelmed, as well as specific disability-related barriers.
Contact CRIL if you would like copies of either Peer Guide or click icons to download the pdf.
The Healthy Women Workshop Curriculum
More than 90% of workshop participants sought out a screening appointment! Now available on CD, our successful curriculum can be altered and used to put on workshops in your community. More than 50 pages in length, the curriculum is scripted so that those doing workshops as part of a study can ensure that each is the same.
Contact CRIL if you would like a copy of the Workshop Curriculum.
The Healthy Women Project also utilized materials from the following organizations:
Breast Health Access for Women with Disabilities (BHAWD)
Table Manners: The Gynecological Exam for Women with Developmental Disabilities and Other Functional Limitations
The American Cancer Society
Know Your Rights: A pocket guide to health care and insurance for people with disabilities
