Series Overview

Milwaukee AHEC hosts a series of professional development opportunities to expand our Community Health Worker Training (CHW) program. During each session, participants expand their learning in public health care concepts such as health promotion, chronic disease education and prevention, skill development (Motivational Interviewing, boundaries setting), and how CHW can be an intricate, and valuable addition to a successful healthcare team.

Global Objectives

• Participate in professional development to refine skills in Motivational Interviewing and boundary setting, and gain a deeper understanding of the crucial role CHWs play in enhancing the effectiveness of healthcare teams.
• Address Social Determinants of Health and increase diversity and distribution of health professionals to support and serve marginalized communities.  
• Enhance their mastery of public health issues and chronic diseases to more effectively educate and support the community they serve.
