The “Skin and Soft Tissue Care” (SSTC) program provides medical education and empowerment directly to PEH and support workers regarding infections, wounds, and other skin conditions. Over three years, SSTC has led more than 100 workshops in camps, safe rest villages and shelters. Additionally, they are educating and supporting 12 individual PEH as healthcare resources for the people within their camps. The purpose, scope, implementation, and growth of SSTC will be presented by their Program Coordinator, a person with lived experience. Educational materials developed by this program will also be shared.
