health advocate.

Thank you for your help!

The Women’s Health Leadership Institute (WHLI) is coming to Seattle!

The WHLI is a three-year national initiative of the Department of
Health and Human Services Office on Women’s Health (DHHS-OWH). The
purpose of the WHLI is to train and support experienced Community
Health Workers across the country in leadership development to enhance
their capacity to influence change in their communities by addressing
women’s health disparities.

Community Health Workers in Region X (AK, ID, OR, WA) are invited to
apply to attend the free Community Health Worker (CHW) Regional
Workshop. The Community Health Worker Regional Workshop will be held
May 2 – 4, 2012 in Seattle, WA.

Up to twenty CHWs will be trained to further develop leadership skills
with an aim to generate change in their communities around chronic
disease and women’s health issues. Note: The WHLI uses the term
Community Health Worker (CHW) as a broad title that includes other
titles, such as:  Community Health Representative, Lay Health Worker,
Patient Navigator, Promotor(a), Doula, Outreach Worker, Peer
Counselor, Peer Leader and  Community Health Advocate.

All applicants selected to attend the workshop and who participate in
the three full days of training will receive a Certificate of
Completion and will be provided post-training support to enable them
to complete a community project in their area.

Interested CHWs should submit their application by March 28, 2012.
Please see the attached Community Health Worker Regional Workshop
Application for more details and instructions.

Travel, lodging, parking, and meal costs are not covered by the WHLI.

If you have questions regarding the CHW Regional Workshop, please
contact me at (206) 615-3667 or renee.bouvion at hhs.gov

Please pass this information along to others who might be interested.

Thank you!
