Health Communication Resources (HCR)

Health Communication Resources (HCR) is a not-for-profit organisation serving communities facing crisis. HCR works with communities to design, develop and implement a community-centred media response to meet community needs for information, education, social learning, advocacy and entertainment. With registered offices in Australia, Pakistan and the UK, we are committed to empowering communities with the skills, knowledge, tools and resources to use community media well for the purpose of community transformation. At HCR we believe in providing opportunities for people to improve their physical, emotional and spiritual health and well-being. We are motivated by community members who seek to become agents of learning and change rather than objects of learning to change. We give priority to vulnerable and marginalised groups. Our goal is to bridge the gap between the practitioners and the community: we help practitioners to understand how to use media to reach the community with their messages, and we help the community to design and produce those messages with local meaning and impact.
