What is Train-the-CHW Trainer?...

Why should you attend?...
Community Health Workers (CHWs) are individuals trained to provide basic health services and education to members of their communities. They typically live and work in the same communities as the people they serve which can help build trust and increase access to healthcare services for marginalized and underserved populations.
According to BLS.gov, there are approximately 60,000 CHWs currently employed in the workforce. This number growing by leaps and bounds because of the crucial roles CHWs served during the COVID-19 response, as well as the financial backing of major public health organizations commmited to ensuring that more people are trained and hired as CHWs.

Words of praise from past attendees
"
"The training was amazing. I am a visual learner w/ADD. If the training doesn't keep me engaged, I will start to do other things. This training kept me excited about the next thing, and the next thing. The facilitator did an amazing job at interacting with the group, and teaching.
