PROJECT CHWs

Project CHWs will explore ways to support community health workers (CHW) in their work to reduce truancy of under-served youth in the San Bernardino City Unified School District. The project will focus particularly on reducing burnout and increasing well-being of this important workforce.

This project is funded by a seed grant from Loma Linda University's School of Behavioral Health.
