Are you interested in learning how to build and sustain a regional collaboration to support Community Health Workers (CHWs) in your state?

The NERHEC and ASTHO are hosting a webinar "Community Health Workers: Part of the Solution for Advancing Health Equity; Perspectives and Initiatives from the New England Regional Health Equity Council," which will discuss key partnerships and collaborations between CHWs, allies and other stakeholders as we continue to build a regional network to facilitate sharing of CHW workforce promising practices and policy development. Speakers will discuss the history and evolution of regional collaboration on CHWs in New England; highlight the experience of one state’s involvement in building support and policy for CHWs, and recommendations on how to build regional networks elsewhere.

Speakers:

• Lisa Renee Holderby- Fox, CHW Workforce Consultant
• Geoffrey Wilkinson, MSW, Clinical Associate Professor, Macro Social Work Department, Boston University School of Social Work
• Durrell J. Fox, Minority AIDS Initiative Project Director, New England AIDS Education and Training Center, UMASS Medical School
