About the Event
NACHW members spoke, and they heard them. Over the last several months, their members requested more opportunities for sharing and collaborating within the workforce. In response, NACHW is starting a pilot program of Learning Collaboratives where CHWs from across the country come together for meetings around a certain focus area. These Learning Collaboratives are a space for members to listen to each other, learn from each other, develop their leadership skills and voices, and lift up CHW expertise and resources.
During their first meeting, many of the attendees mentioned the desire and need for greater mental health training, both for their clients and for their own self-care. This January meeting will focus on mental health and self-care. Similarly to the last meeting, all attendees with start the meeting together and then split off into their collaborative groups:
The five initial collaborative groups will be:
- CHW Organizational Leaders
- Spanish Speaking Promotores/as
- Mental Health
- Immigrants and Refugees
- Community Health Representatives (CHRs)
*Community Health Representatives (CHRs) refer to the individuals working through the Community Health Representative program run through Indian Health Services on many tribal nations. You can learn more about CHRs here.
