Foundations for Community Health Workers, 3rd Edition

Edited by Tim Berthold and Darouny Somsanith

Foundations for Community Health Workers, 3rd Edition is a practical, comprehensive introduction to the essential skills professionals need in community health roles. Inspired by the long-running CHW Certificate Program at City College of San Francisco and shaped by 27 contributing authors, it equips learners with the core competencies and guiding principles that empower individuals and communities to lead healthy lives. With an emphasis on health equity, social justice, cultural humility, and person- and community-centered practice, the book builds skills from client assessment and motivational interviewing to conflict resolution, group facilitation, trauma support, and community organizing. Real-life case studies and the voices of working CHWs illustrate the challenges and successes learners will meet on the job.
