Community Health Worker Training
This course is accredited by the Maryland Department of Health (No. 022-2024-G) to provide essential skills for those who wish to become certified community health workers in the State of Maryland. In this training, we not only focus on the skills; we give attention to the version of us that shows up when we do our work. We reflect upon our internal environment (mindset, beliefs, biases, etc.) as well as our communities.
Format: In person, online, and hybrid options | 109.5 hours in class and a 40-hour field experience
