Facilitator: Mo Barbosa, Health Resources in Acton
Description: Effective community health work applies an equity lens, with an emphasis on building individuals and coalition capacity to engage diverse communities through empowering and competent approaches. There are numerous barriers to such engagement; some conscious, and some unconscious. Race, class, and cultural communication styles all influence the ways in which diverse communities relate to the work. This online training will introduce participants to health equality, culturally competent approaches, and how to think collaboratively about ways to effectively engage diverse populations/communities in their efforts.
