SUMMARY:Oral Health Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Offered by the New England Public Health Training Center \n\n\n\nAs a CHW\, what can you do to support the oral health of the individuals you serve?  \n\n\n\nOral health is an essential part of overall health and wellbeing. Poor oral health has a negative impact on quality of life and is linked to chronic conditions\, including stroke\, heart and lung disease\, and diabetes. In addition\, poor oral health can be stigmatizing\, which negatively affects mental health and may contribute toward socioeconomic disparities. Community health workers are well poised to support oral health education and access to care in their roles. Join this webinar to learn about how CHWs can help improve the oral health of people they serve. \n\n\n\nAt the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nDiscuss the relationship between oral health and overall health.\n\n\n\nList oral health resources available for individuals served by CHW in Vermont.\n\n\n\nExplore opportunities to integrate oral health care into CHW role.\n\n\n\n\nThis program is designated for Certified Health Education Specialists (CHES) and/or Master Certified Health Education Specialists (MCHES) to receive up to 1 total Category I continuing education contact hours. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here
