Problem Solving for Better Health®

Problem Solving for Better Health® (PSBH®) is a process that challenges individuals to rethink their problems and their own role in solving them. This approach invites active participation and commitment and places the responsibility for change squarely upon the individual. During a 2.5 day workshop participants are taught the PSBH® process. Each participant identifies a solvable problem and designs a business plan for a project to solve it. DHF provides seed money for the project and guidance through local and regional coordinators. Participants report back to DHF at a half-day follow-up workshop 6-8 months later. The first workshop took place in February 1999 in Bucharest, where the participants were asked to take immediate action and use local available resources to begin solving their problems. Today PSBH® is a nationwide program in Romania.
