Exploring the Different Roles of Community Health Workers
Community Health Workers (CHWs) are a powerful tool to address health care needs in the community, and one of their strongest qualities is that they can adapt to a variety of roles and settings. The most effective CHW Programs mix-and-match these roles in order to achieve strong programmatic outcomes. This workshop explores the different ways these roles can be used, why they may be used in different situations, and on how your organization can use the Multi-Tiered CHW Model to maximize impact. Like all other workshops, this can be purchased as a standalone session, or as an addition to any of our other offerings.
