Description

This webinar will discuss how community health workers (CHWs) can use their role in their communities to help transform health disparities into equity through interactive, reflective, and peer-to-peer learning. Topics covered will help CHWs advance health and racial equity in the workplace, communities, and within the CHW profession. We will also discuss what it means to move towards “meaningful community engagement,” and ways to engage and elevate dialogue about improved health and wellbeing for communities that experience health inequities.
