Nov. HealthConnect Updates

Nov 18

As part of the November HealthConnect Bulletin, we wanted to provide important updates about the hub.

Chronic Disease and Chronic Pain self-management programs in the SWACH region have been strengthened through a partnership with DSHS. Funding includes participation incentives to lower barriers - $50 to participate in the first of six workshops and an additional hundred dollars to complete at least four of the six workshops.
HealthConnect community-based workforce development training, Common Principles and Practices of CHWs and Peers was scheduled for October 27th- 28th & November 3-4th. There were 21 CBWs registered representing the following partner agencies: Columbia River Mental Health, Lifeline Connections, Council for the Homeless, Seamar, VHA, WAGAP, YWCA Clark County, Battle Ground HealthCare, Recovery Café, Youth and Family Link (MCA).
Brandi Williams and Dominique Horn lead the first HealthConnect-sponsored networking and professional development opportunity. A group of 9 CHWs representing 5 different agencies (Outsiders Inn, Youth and Family Link (MCA), LCSNW, YWCA, and WAGAP) traveled to Minnesota for a conference on Trauma Informed Care.
