Long days and high caseloads can place CHWs at distinct risk for compassion fatigue and burnout—two workplace realities that can erode health, motivation, and the joy of service. As a CHW, it is important to recognize these challenges, not just for your own well-being, but because the healthier you are, the more sustainable your impact can be. This article offers a practical roadmap to help CHWs keep their “cups".
Each October, National Health Education Week reminds us that accessible, clear health information is not just nice to have — it's essential. For CHWs in Health Centers, who serve as trusted bridges between health systems and the public, making health information understandable is part of the job every single day.
