Creating Health
“Communities have never been built upon their deficiencies.
Building communities has always depended upon mobilising
the capacities and assets of people and place”
(Kretzman and McKnight 1993)
“Many of the key assets required for creating the conditions for
health lie within the social context of people’s lives and
therefore [the asset model] has the potential to contribute to
reducing health inequities.”
(Morgan & Ziglio, 2007)
Assets for Health & Wellbeing

Asset based approaches are concerned with identifying the
protective factors that create health and well-being. They offer the
potential to enhance both the quality and longevity of life through
focusing on the resources that promote the self-esteem and coping
abilities of individuals and communities.

Drawing on concepts that include salutogenesis, resilience and
social capital, asset approaches create the potential for unlocking
some of the existing barriers to effective action on health inequities,
so far characterised by more risk-based or deficit approaches.
(International Conference, London 2011)
The Asset Approach

investigates key assets that support the creation of
health rather than the prevention of disease

enables a community to use its assets around a
vision or plan that solves local issues sustainably
and uses outside support more meaningfully and
efficiently.
Traditional needs assessment


Identifies problems and deficits in individuals and communities
Health as disease prevention, often single disease causality
focused
Allocates resources based on deficit/ needs assessment/ IMD
Focus on individual level interventions
Responds with more or different/ re-configured services
Identifies the community as a problem area
The value of services as the answer
Belief that wellbeing depends on being a client
Dependence on outside services
No incentive to be producers, only consumers, passive
recipients
Survival motivated challenge of outwitting the system
Dissolves community empowerment and networks
Asset focus

Salutogenic understanding of health as wellness, not as disease or its
absence;

Focus on a multiple dynamic model of health and its determinants;

Maps the skills, capacity, knowledge of individuals and the social capital,
networks and connections in a community.

Provides a different story of place; positive and outcome focussed picture,
valuing what works well;

Builds community empowerment and solution focussed responses that are
sustainable;

More community based and system level interventions;

Enables co-production of health & wellbeing, citizens as empowered
producers, active participants;

Enables more efficient provision of services;

• The asset approach values
the capacity, skills,
knowledge, connections
and potential in a
community. In an asset
approach, the glass is halffull rather than half-empty.
• Fundamentally, it requires a
shift in attitudes and values,
and a shift in power
A glass half-full
An asset is any of the following:

The practical skills, capacity and knowledge of local residents

The passions and interests of local residents that give them energy
for change

The networks and connections - know as ‘social capital’ - in the
community, including friendships and neighbourliness

The effectiveness of local community and voluntary associations

The resources of public, private and third sector organisations that
are available to support a community

The physical and economic resources of a place that enhance
wellbeing

The contribution of the asset approach
(NHS NW 2010)

Tackling the social determinants of health and reducing health
inequalities

Focusing on health and wellbeing outcomes

Strengthening the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment

Fostering co-production of health and provision of health and social
care

Building the Big Society vision of empowered communities

Supporting systematic engagement of communities in partnership

Maximising the role of the voluntary and community sector

Enabling greater condition management, self care and care closer
to home

Improving individual and community resilience in challenging times

Improving demand management and service efficiency
Reducing Health Inequalities

Marmot Review “puts empowerment of individuals and
communities at the centre of action to reduce
inequalities”
This requires

Social action

Creating conditions for individuals to take control of their
lives

Removing structural barriers to participation

Facilitating and developing capacity and capability
through personal and community development
“Traditional epidemiological risk factor approaches to
health development such as programmes on smoking
cessation, healthy eating and physical activity are
insufficient on their own to ensure the health and wellbeing of populations”
(Morgan & Ziglio, 2007)
Social Care Transformation: Building Community
Capacity (DH 2010)
“What would it look like if, in this area, people and local organisations
were all operating in such a way as to make the most effective use
of, and further develop social capital, in a way that includes those
who are often the most isolated and marginalised?”

Building on people’s existing capabilities

Reciprocity and mutuality

Building support networks

Blurring distinctions:

Facilitating rather than delivering

Recognising people as assets
Three main contributors to outcomes for people who might need social
care: People, Organisations, Social Capital

JSNA guidance

From April 2013 “the local authority and the clinical
commissioning groups, together with local HealthWatch,
will be required to prepare the JSNA through the health
and wellbeing board, undertaking a comprehensive
analysis of the current and future needs and assets of
their area”

“In the context of the JSNA an asset could be anything
that can be used to improve outcomes and impact on
the wider determinants of health.”
(JSNA & JHWS explained, 2011, DH)
Public Health Commissioning Responsibilities

“[Commissioning] underpinned by a robust analysis of
the needs and assets of the local population”
(Public Health in Local Government Commissioning Responsibilities, 2011,
DH)
What is an asset?

An asset could be formal or informal resources,
including capacity within other organisations or the
community that can be used to improve health and
wellbeing outcomes and impact on the wider
determinants of health, such as the ability of population
groups to take greater control of their own health and
manage their long-term conditions.
(JSNA & JHWS draft guidance, 2012, DH)
Principles of JSNAs and Joint H&WB Strategies

Real gains can be made if health and wellbeing boards
look beyond needs to examine how local assets,
including the local community itself can be used to meet
identified needs. Not only does this approach generate
energy and make the best use of all available resources,
but it also stimulates innovation, for example through
joining up services, to find truly local solutions to
address local issues.
(JSNA & JHWS draft guidance, 2012, DH)

The Common Sense Solution
• Need for “Community Asset Mapping”
• Empower the HT!
• Social Prescribing…
• Wider benefits
• Community Resilience
42
Method
• Alt Valley Health Improvement Team
• What do we need to know?
What, Where, When, Who, How to contact and How much!
• How will we find out?
• Who will do the work?
• How long will it take?
6 Officers X 2 hrs pw x 6 wks = 72 work hours
• Equivalent time costs?
c.22k/52wks/36hrs X 12 hrs X 6 Officers = £846 (+costs)

…the asset map is a worthwhile tool and an
asset for our community. It has developed our
centre's network of organisations whom we
now work in-partnership with and not just in
Croxteth, but for other areas in Liverpool as
well.
“The asset map is
really effective in
helping me work
with my clients, even
now that I am more
familiar with the
area, I still use it to
get contact
details…”
Nichola, Health Trainer
Gerry, Manager, Porchfield Centre.

Health Trainers
Caseload 1
•“Phil from Fazakerley was referred from a CHATS event and was wishing to lose weight. We set goals to
alter his poor eating habits and lack of physical activity. I referred to him to cycle for health group and
although he enjoyed it the session time was unsuitable for him due to work commitments. Using the Asset
map I identified the cycle group held at Fazakerley federation which he began to attend on a regular basis
and motivated him to buy his own bike which he uses to travel to and from work now. As well as making new
friends and improving his social & mental wellbeing, he has lost 13lbs in weight over a period of 6 months.”
Caseload 2
•“A client in Fazakerley was referred by their GP due to stress which happened as a
result from struggling to complete financial forms, applying for jobs and CV. Although I
could not help him myself, I signposted him to the local CAB and job café for support and
info. “
50
Health Trainers
Caseload 3
•“A lady in Walton was referred by her GP as she wanted to lose weight but found it
difficult due to sciatica. I referred her to a local community group that provided a chair
based exercise class. She found the class helpful as it suited her needs and she could
carry on the activities at home if she was having a bad day.”
Caseload 4
•“A client in Croxteth was referred by their GP regarding stress. I encouraged them to attend
the local Porchfield community centre to access a wide range of activities from tai chi & Zumba
to card making & computer classes. The client didn’t realise they could access it as it is attached
to a residential home but the centre is accessible to all adults.”
51
“CHAT” Worker
“I staged a health event for young mums in the Salvation Army, Cavendish Drive, Walton. The aim
of the event was to promote an active lifestyle. I knew from the asset map that there were no
Zumba sessions available locally at that time. During the event I organised a taster Zumba
session, over 30 women joined in the activity and said they would attend regular classes if they
were available.
With this information I funded six sessions and worked hard to secure further grant funding to
make it sustainable. I also brought in an ‘NHS Health Trainer’, David, to do a presentation on the
service to all the women who signed up for Zumba, Three women took advantage of the free HT
service and received continued motivation and support of the Health Trainer.
The Zumba class is still in action and has to date an average of twenty women in attendance. The
three women who took advantage of the free Health Trainer service have all stated that their
new improved lifestyle has rubbed off on the rest of their families and they feel they now have the
tools to look after their health and well being. “
Lynne, Community Health Ambassador
52
Community Organisations
“We have made the asset map available to our tenants in their welcome pack, and will
be making the asset map information available through a touch screen kiosk in the
housing office.”
Manila, Cobalt Housing
“I have used it on a number of occasions to signpost some of our clients and their
families to services that we are unable to offer at our centre i.e: Fag-ends, Citizens
Advice, Job Cafes, Parent/Toddler Groups and other various activities for children
aged 0-4 years that take place throughout the working week. We have also noticed
that since this information has been available we have had a lot of referrals from
Health Trainers for activities that we provide e.g Computer Classes, Social Events,
Exercise Classes etc.”
Gerry, Centre Manager, Porchfield Community Centre.
53
Community Organisations
We have made the asset map available to our volunteers in North Liverpool to
signpost clients onto other services.
Karen, Victim Support
•I know the area well as I have worked here for a long time, so I have not really used
the asset map. I have been sending people to the Fazakerley Advice Centre for debt
and benefits advice, and the the childrens centre and the Fed (Fazakerley
Federation) for toddler groups. We have had a lot of people sent to us by the health
trainers to use the gym, including a woman who was obese and didn’t want to
exercise in front of other people. She still comes even though she has stopped seeing
the health trainer and she has brought the rest of the family with her as well!”
•Mark, Centre manager, Fazakerley Memorial Hall.

Discussion

What are you thinking of doing to take forward the asset
approach?

What do you anticipate will change by doing this work?

How will change be measured?

Who needs to be involved and what will you/ they do?

What needs to happen in the next 30,60,90 days?
Working together going forward

Are there other places that are planning to do something
similar- is it helpful to collaborate?

What is the specific input that will help you to achieve
this that we can plan into the next two sessions?
Thank you
