Behavioral Health
Behavioral Health
The two-part behavioral health training equips community health workers (CHWs) with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to provide nontherapeutic support to clients experiencing anxiety, depression, or the effects of trauma.

The curriculum also includes training in evidence-based practices such as behavioral health activation and Wellness Recovery Action Plans (WRAP), engaging and helpful tools for supporting clients living with behavioral health diagnoses.
