In responding to climate change, the Climate and Health Program highlights the important role that Community Health Workers (CHWs) have in our communities. Spanish-speaking CHWs are an integral part of the healthcare workforce and essential to addressing the health impacts of climate change. They are trusted community leaders in promoting culturally specific actions and attitudes to promote the health and well-being of communities.

​

Clima, Salud y Resiliencia is a culturally appropriate training that uses methods and practices from popular education and adult learning theories. The curriculum covers themes and topics that reflect Familias en Acción’s desire to support family health, resilience and emotional well-being, Latiné environmentalism, food equity and sustainability, as well as encourage advocacy, community engagement and climate preparedness.

 

This 20-hour training is intended for community health workers, both certified and not certified. It is hosted in person over four days and entirely in Spanish. Together, we learn about climate change, its impact on health, an introduction to emergency preparedness planning, policy and advocacy, personal action steps, and so much more! 

 

This training offers up to 20 hours of CEUs, for FREE. Registration is required.
