The CHWNB is offering a four day, intensive training for those working in diverse settings in urban Buffalo as health and human service providers, community organizers, and outreach workers(please note: participants should be frontline workers in community based settings serving in a direct service capacity). Trainees will learn how to assist individuals, families, and communities in moving from being simply receivers of services, to active participants in their personal and community level health and well being.
Knowledge base and skill set will include: basics of health care/public health/social determinants of health, history of CHWs and community-based care, informal counseling, confidentiality and ethics, cultural competency, strengths-based approaches to working with individuals/families/communities, navigating healthcare & social service systems, facilitating behavior change, adult learning, and community education.
The four day training will be offered on April 17/18 and May 1/2 from 9am-4pm. Location TBA. Registration is on a first come/first serve basis and is limited to two registrants per organization. Training fee is $30/person (we gratefully acknowledge support from the Community Health Foundation of Western and Central New York, which allows us to keep this fee nominal). To reserve a spot, please e-mail your name and contact info to: info@chwbuffalo.org.
