Justice Involved Families-CHW Networking Gathering

Calling all CHWs who work with judicially-involved clients! Learn about tools and how to attain resources that can benefit those you serve!

From DHCS.CA.gov, “Justice-involved or judicially-involved persons are people who are now, or have spent time, in jails, youth correctional facilities, or prisons. They are at higher risk for injury and death than the general public. They face disproportionate risk of violence, overdose and suicide.” Join CHWARI for this presentation explaining how CHWs can help support clients and familes of this vulnerable population.

Topics and resources

• SDOH (how are they affected in reentry, and with current involvement) 
• Resources
• Trauma Informed Care
• Strength based treatment 

The presenter will be Koren Carbuccia (She/Her/Ella) CPD,CPE,CCHWS,CPRSS, Founder/Owner of WildLife Doula.

About Koren:

In her words, “I provide  supportive services that are needed to help BIPOC People with a history of incarceration, and eliminate disparities in Perinatal Postpartum and Community Health Care. As a BIPOC Woman with lived experience like the population I serve, I know what it looks like to go through an ineffective community re entry process, with no individual tailored support. I began this journey in 2005 and the same needs for judicially-involved women are not met to this day.

Why she started WildLife Doula:

With 15+ years of experience, and working for great organizations that molded me to this point, I decided it was time to take my tools and education to create the environment for people who need Perinatal, Postpartum and Community Health Services. My goal is to support a more prosperous future for them, and their children. 

It really does take a village!
