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.
Normally I would say what your saying is balantly racist. In fact even though it is, you are right. However in the US we aren't talking about natives, but white, Christian, Middle class people. Aka members of the majority.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
