Here is a brief overview of the training: The WHLI training is funded by the Federal Office on Women’s Health. The goal of the training is to train experienced community health workers (CHWs) to act in leadership roles and to address health disparities in their communities using a public health systems approach. The core competencies of the training model included: systems thinking; challenging the process and mastering change; shared vision and collective action; strengthening collective capacity for action; and building leadership. The desired outcomes of the training include increased CHW leadership knowledge and competencies, CHWs’ application of competencies in their leadership activities, as well as positive systemic and/or community level change around women’s health issues that occur as a result of CHWs’ increased leadership capacity.
