Collaborate on Creating an Action Plan
Our CHWs take a person-centered approach to addressing the goals that are most important to you. They will sit with you to understand your unique needs and the challenges you may have had in meeting them. CHWs collaborate with you to create an action plan that leverages your strengths and own personal resources in combination with their support and advocacy. In working through your action plan, they will empower and work alongside you, providing education and opportunities for skill building. Our CHWs have a close understanding of our community, and are exceptionally skilled at navigating both the healthcare and social services systems.
