Instruction is designed to cover the nine core competencies essential to working as a certified CHW which include communication, capacity building, service coordination, interpersonal, advocacy, outreach, personal\/professional skills. The knowledge base competencies will cover health and social issues that disproportionately impact clients including but not limited to chronic diseases such as diabetes, asthma, and cancer. Some of the social issues covered will include safety, emergency preparedness, social isolation, and adverse childhood experiences (ACES). Students will also learn about the changing health care landscape in North Carolina and how to work with their clients in connecting them to resources through NCCARES 360 and others. Upon completion of this training students will be eligible for listing as a NC Certified Community Health Worker.<\/p>\n<\/p>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<!-- \/Welcome-->\r\n\n\n<section class=\"fy-wysiwyg fy-two-column-list fy-mt-80 fy-mb-100\">\r\n\t<div class=\"container\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\r\n\t\t\t<div data-aos=\"fade-up\" class=\"fy-two-column-list__left col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-5\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wysiwyg\">\r\n\t\t\t      <h2>Program Contacts<\/h2><br>\r\n\t\t\t      \t\t\t    <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div data-aos=\"fade-up\" data-aos-delay=\"100\" class=\"fy-two-column-list__right col-12 col-md-6 offset-lg-1 col-lg-6\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wysiwyg\" style=\"padding-bottom: 3rem;\">\r\n\t\t\t      <p>Please email Billie Jo Juice-Stepto at bjuice-stepto@forsythtech.edu or Aida Buljina at abuljina@forsythtech.edu for more information.<\/p>\n\t\t\t    <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n\n<section class=\"fy-wysiwyg fy-two-column-list fy-mt-80 fy-mb-100\">\r\n\t<div class=\"container\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\r\n\t\t\t<div data-aos=\"fade-up\" class=\"fy-two-column-list__left col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-5\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wysiwyg\">\r\n\t\t\t      <h2>Course Schedule <\/h2><br>\r\n\t\t\t      \t\t\t    <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div data-aos=\"fade-up\" data-aos-delay=\"100\" class=\"fy-two-column-list__right col-12 col-md-6 offset-lg-1 col-lg-6\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wysiwyg\" style=\"padding-bottom: 3rem;\">\r\n\t\t\t      <p>HEA 3121-800 (#178666) January 13, 2026 &#8211; April 30, 2026<br \/>\nTues \/ Thu 6PM &#8211; 9PM (online synchronous)<br \/>\nSaturday, February 21, 2026 (in-person, West Campus 32B) 11AM &#8211; 2PM<\/p>\n\t\t\t    <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t      \t<br>\r\n\t\t\t      \t<a  class=\"fy-btn-secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/my.forsythtech.edu\/student\/InstantEnrollment\/Search\" target=\"_self\">To Enroll Click Here!<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-10 offset-lg-1 ecity2\">\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-10 offset-lg-1 ecity2\">\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"parent":8862,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_tec_requires_first_save":true,"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_tribe_blocks_recurrence_rules":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_description":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_exclusions":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-10207","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 -
