Putting Public Health Evidence in Action
This highly interactive distance-based training will teach community program planners and health educators about tools for planning community health intervention strategies. It will cover how to define and identify evidence-based programs, policies or strategies (PPS). Practice-based examples primarily include chronic disease or cancer prevention and control, but principles and tools are cross-cutting among other public health topic areas. The workshop will share web resources such as the Community Guide to Preventive Services and Research Tested Intervention Programs (RTIPs). Join on Friday, December 8, 2017 from 1-3 p.m. EST for Part 1 and Friday, December 15, 2017 from 1-3 p.m. EST for Part 2.

Understanding Health Conditions and The Impact on Your Work: A Community Health Worker Training Series: Depression
Log in on Monday, December 11, 2017 12 p.m. for a presentation on incorporating CHWs into health promotion work. This webinar on depression is designed to provide the CHW with specific information about the condition, as well as helping participants understand their role in supporting individuals with depression, and often other comorbid conditions. Armed with a basic understanding of health conditions, the CHW can be even more effective in their important work in engaging and supporting individuals struggling with conditions such as depression and other determinants of health.
