CO Public Health Works _Youth Mental Health Worker
 
 
 
Community Health Workers (CHW) with a behavioral health emphasis are frontline public health connectors that have a close understanding of the community they serve. This trusting relationship enables members to serve as a liaison between health/social services and the community to facilitate access to services and improve the quality and cultural competence of service delivery. CHW build individual and community capacity through activities like outreach, community education, informal counseling, social support, and advocacy.
