This study explored how community health workers (CHWs) in Malawi were trained to better support adolescent mothers. After attending workshops, the CHWs became more open and supportive, moving away from judgmental attitudes. The training helped them deliver life skills sessions in a more gender-responsive way, showing that such programs can improve support for young mothers.
