Learn about tools and how to attain resources that can benefit those you serve! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom 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.  \n\n\n\nTopics and resources \n\n\n\n\nSDOH (how are they affected in reentry\, and with current involvement) \n\n\n\nResources\n\n\n\nTrauma Informed Care\n\n\n\nStrength based treatment \n\n\n\n\nThe presenter will be Koren Carbuccia (She/Her/Ella) CPD\,CPE\,CCHWS\,CPRSS\, Founder/Owner of WildLife Doula.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Koren:  \n\n\n\nIn 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. \n\n\n\nWhy she started WildLife Doula:  \n\n\n\nWith 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.  \n\n\n\nIt really does take a village!

SUMMARY:In-Person CHW Panel Discussion: “We Need To Get Paid For Our Value"
DESCRIPTION:“We Need to Get Paid for Our Value”:\n\n\n\nMaking the Community Health Worker Role and Peer Recovery Specialist Role Sustainable\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin CHWARI in-person on 2/26\, 1-4pm\, at Rhode Island College’s Institute for Education in Healthcare for a vibrant discussion with a panel of researchers (two of whom have lived experience of addiction) and CHWs/peer recovery specialists. This in an in-person event at Alger Hall Room 110 on the Rhode Island College campus. Zoom is only being used for registration purposes. \n\n\n\nThis event is a panel of researchers who were involved with a recent study of CHW/Peer role definitions and work conditions in Rhode Island\, published in Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly. They will discuss their own experiences of working in these roles as well as the changes needed to make them sustainable on the program\, institutional\, and legislative levels.    \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\nRead Article\n\n\n\nPDF Flyer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract: \n\n\n\nAfter decades of playing a critical role in extending healthcare to the most marginalized\, Community Health Workers (and more recently\, peer recovery specialists) are becoming widely recognized. From the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMSHA) to the American Journal of Public Health\, important voices have called to expand these roles in response to the staffing crisis facing healthcare and mental healthcare/substance use disorder treatment. However\, all is clearly not well. A series of recent publications have described wide-spread burnout\, emotional exhaustion\, moral injury\, economic exploitation\, and high workforce turnover. Although these impacts were intensified during the COVID 19 pandemic\, they began well before March 2020 and\, if anything\, have only worsened since. As one harm-reduction worker recently stated: “The new normal is a non-stop crisis.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPanelists:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnthony Thigpen\, CCHW/PRS \n\n\n\nI am a program coordinator for a program called Connect For Health. This program is housed in Lifespan’s Community Health Institute which connects men and women and families to resources in the community. I started out as a community health worker with Providence RI Transition Clinic at the Center for primary care\, and one of the founders of Docs For Health\, a tool that has been designed to screen and intervene for social determinants of health. Also\, formally incarcerated\, and recently celebrated 16 years of being free.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArryn A. Guy\, PhD \n\n\n\nInvestigator\, Brown University School of Public Health \n\n\n\nDr. Arryn A. Guy (she/they) is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Rhode Island and an Investigator in the Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences at the Brown University School of Public Health. Dr. Guy’s work focuses on community-based participatory research with queer and trans communities to develop and implement evidence-based behavioral health interventions.
