Description: 

Community Health Workers are trusted bridges between the clinic and the community—often hearing what patients don’t share anywhere else. Join Futures Without Violence programs, the National Health Resource Center on Domestic Violence and Health Partners on IPV +Exploitation, to learn how community health workers can support their patients who experience intimate partner violence. The webinar will highlight health center responses for California, Idaho, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington (with participation from NMPCA and NWRPCA) and is open to a national audience. NMPCA is offering CEs to participating New Mexico staff.
