Hawai‘i Community Health Worker Association: Winter Updates



COMING SOON IN 2023: LUNCH & LEARNS + HCIHW MEMBERSHIP
As we say goodbye to 2022 and prepare for the upcoming year, there is a lot to keep an eye out for in the year 2023. Our HICHW Workforce Development team will be launching monthly Lunch and Learns to assist in the development of the CHW profession.
This specific time slot is allotted for CHWs to receive training and participate in discussion desired by CHWs. Upcoming trainings will include tobacco cessation intervention, asthma, and other training on chronic diseases. In addition, potential topics that are in the works include expanding discussion on built environment efforts and self-care for CHWs. If you are interested in these training opportunities or upcoming discussions, please contact Rosi Handy at rosilyn@hiphi.org to be added to the wait list.

Also launching in 2023 is the official membership sign up for the association! Current CHWs, CHW students, and Allies are invited to join this membership. Benefits will include access to CHW/Ally specific information and scholarships/opportunities for future HICHW events and projects.
