Yes that's one valid idea - but remember that unless a health practitioner is the one delivering the class that people will be rightly sceptical of any health advice given from some random instructor. You need to ensure that the message is communicated in an effective way to the target clients - not just ensure that it's delivered "somehow" and assume everything will be OK. Additionally you would need to ensure people can raise their concerns and have those discussed privately with a practitioner. Even someone having an unanswered question is a barrier to the effective delivery of health services.
In Australia you would not be able to have an Anglo-Saxon instructor give the message to Ingenious parents full stop. It doesn't matter if they're the best doctor in Australia we know that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a justified and well-established fear of "White Medicine". You would need to get an Indigenous health practitioner to deliver the message.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
