National Societies have been addressing first aid and health promotion using the community-based first aid method (CBFA) since the 1990s. CBFA has since been revisited, with a community participation element to health promotion introduced. In 2009, the CBHFA approach was launched and materials disseminated around the world.
The CBHFA approach seeks to create healthy and resilient communities by empowering volunteers and communities to take charge of their health. Using an integrated approach, volunteers are trained and mobilized to carry out activities within their communities.
