Community Health Worker Training
Make a Difference in the Health of Your Community
Are you passionate about your community? Does your community experience multiple barriers
to healthcare. As a community health worker you can be part of the solution. The
American Public Health Association (APHA) defines Community Health Workers(CHWs) as:
“a frontline public health worker who is a trusted member of and/or has an unusually
close understanding
of the community served. This trusting relationship enables the worker to serve as
a liaison / link / intermediary between health / social services and the community
to facilitate access to services and improve the quality and cultural competence of
service delivery.”
How Community Health Workers are unique:
Compassionate Care: CHWs approach their work with empathy, providing compassionate support to community members
Commitment to Service: CHWs dedication to improving community health drives their persistent and passionate efforts
Holistic (Total) Approach: CHWs address not just medical needs but also social determinants of health, providing
comprehensive support.
This program will help you develop the skills to be a front-line agent of change in your community.
