11/18/2026 | 3:00-4:30pm | November CHW Circle: Changing the Sexual and Reproductive Health Landscape as CHWs
Community Health Workers know a single conversation or referral can change lives — and that’s just as true for sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Navigating this personal, often stigmatized area is challenging, but there are skills and strategies that can help. In this CHW circle, attendees will practice applying core CHW skills to SRH work and learn key strategies through hands-on exercises and real examples from the work of CHWs. Attendees will leave with skills to keep practicing and resources for continuing education.
