Community Health Worker Training

Community Health Workers (CHWs) address this root cause by bridging gaps in access, establishing and maintaining connections to preventative medical and dental care, and addressing the stigma that pervades mental health care, particularly among vulnerable populations. All of this rests upon the trust a CHW develops within the community.
