Community Health Worker Training
About the Career
The Empowering the Masses Community Health Worker Training (CHW) Program is a Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) approved CHW Training Site for both CHW 160- hour (16 Weeks) training and CEU training for CHWs and CHWIs.
-
CHWs are trained to make household visits in their community and identify early symptoms of diseases. At these household visits, CHWs are trained to provide health education on how to prevent disease as well as to identify any troubling symptoms.
-
CHWs are also trained to provide referrals to nearby clinics and health facilities for treatment, and to report the disease cases.

Community Health Worker Instructor
I look forward to teaching the community health worker course to educate the community about the world of public health and how they can use their skills learned to make an impact. Empowering the masses gave me the opportunity to expand my knowledge and receive a certification, and I couldn’t think of a better way to thank them for their support.
