Course Description
Community Health Workers (CHWs) are a vital part of health and human services delivery in Michigan and are trusted members of the community served. They contribute in many ways by functioning as a consistent source of contact between care providers and individuals, providing case management and care coordination. CHWs influence the health of the community by providing outreach, community education, informal counseling, social support, and advocacy. This course follows the Michigan Community Health Worker Alliance (MiCHWA) curriculum and includes 40 hours of internship.
