WEBINAR: Scope of Work, Skills, And Roles of Community Health Workers

Community Health Workers (CHWs) are frontline public health workers who are trusted members of and/or have an unusually close understanding of the community served. They have major untapped potential in helping interdisciplinary teams in areas of urgent current public health need, such as health disparities, health literacy, improving overall health behaviors, and community preparedness for bioterrorism and other health crises.
In this webinars, the presenter will:
• Define the role and scope of work of CHWs;
• Discuss how CHWs can be allies in reaching marginalized communities;
• Describe how do CHWs fit into the mental health system; and
• Define the roles of CHWs in supporting individuals during the pandemic.

Listened to the entire video. Yes, social workers come from a strengths based approach. Only a small percentage of social workers work for CPS and many CPS employees are not social workers. That is a negative stereotype for the sw profession.
