The series also addresses emerging and foundational areas including trauma-informed care, community mental wellness, immunization education, and effective health messaging.
Importantly, the series honors the role of CHRs as Traditional Healthcare Workers and emphasizes self-care and wellness—recognizing that a strong workforce is critical to strong communities. Sessions on using community data for action further equip CHRs to identify needs, inform programming, and advocate for resources grounded in local priorities.
Together, these topics reinforce the CHR role as connectors, educators, and care extenders—advancing a holistic, culturally grounded approach to improving health outcomes across Indian Country.
