Join us for the official launch of envision’s newest tool; the Sustainability from the Inside Out Community Health Worker (CHW) Organizational Self-Assessment Toolkit. This tool is a practical, CHW-centered resource designed to help public health departments and others assess organizational readiness to support and sustain thriving CHW programs. Grounded in the CHW Common Indicators, this toolkit guides organizations through a process of identifying organizational readiness across four domains:
CHW Wellbeing
CHW Sustainability
CHW Program Integration
CHW Policy Environment
Participants will explore the toolkit and learn more about leading an assessment that honors CHW expertise, protects occupational integrity, and develops actionable pathways towards long-term CHW program sustainability.
