[Poll] Education changes how people see themselves
October 9, 2003 - 10:03 AM

Education changes how people see themselves. It also affects a person's health often, the more educated a mother is, the healthier she is because she knows how to take of herself. The healthier a mother is, the healthier her children will be. The level of a person?s education can help or hurt your efforts to counsel someone.

For example, a person who is able to read may have read newspaper and billboards about HIV/AIDS. He may already know something about HIV. You could teach him using written materials. The ability to read and write may mean that a person feels comfortable learning in a school setting.

A person who does not read or write relies on other sources of information, such as radio, television and friends. She often thinks more in terms of real-life situating. In this case, telling stories about other people with AIDS may teach more than listing facts about the number of people in the country with HIV.

Using visual aids such as posters, drawings and videos can be especially helpful. People who cannot read often learn better from their own experience than from information given in a student and teacher setting.

Written materials such a pamphlets can help with your counseling. People may have question after you have spoken with them and the written information can help answer these. It can also void people of facts they have remind people of facts they have forgotten. They can share the pamphlets that have difficulty reading can still be written materials, their friends or family can read the materials to them.
