NCHH has
created a course for Community Health Workers (CHWs) to teach them how to
provide healthy homes information to members of their communities. The
Healthy Homes for Community Health Workers course is targeted to individuals
who work as health advocates in their communities.
This course trains CHWs to
provide one-on-one and large group education on healthy homes, provide general
advice about specific healthy homes problems, and be able to recommend healthy
homes approaches to be taken by families, landlords and other community members.
The course was offered in a pilot format in the fall of 2008 and
early 2009. As of April 9, 2009, it is being offered as a finalized course.
Because this course is still new, there will be continue to be some ongoing
revisions to the materials.
Following are links to the
materials for the course.

Added a
note that instructors should be aware of the need to stay on
schedule during the day, given the amount of material to cover and
the need provide sufficient time for student practice of the seven
principles. |
