Men's National CHW Alliance General Meeting
On August 4, 2023, at the 2023 National Association of Community Health Workers (NACHW) Unity Conference in Austin, Texas, Terri Jowers, CCHW, South Carolina Community Health Worker Association (SCCHWA) and Guillermo Wippold, Ph.D., University of South Carolina, presented their community-engaged research on Men's Health in a breakout session entitled “We Need More Male CHWs! What Community-based Participatory Research told us about engaging men in health.” During the discussion, the presenters challenged the attendees to take action to increase the number of male CHWs to improve men's health outcomes.
The discussion started at the Unity Conference and sparked a group of men and men's health allies to begin meeting and form what is now being called the Men's National CHW Alliance.
Currently, the alliance consists of representatives from Tennessee, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina.
The Men's National CHW Alliance's core values are compassion, respect, equity, community engagement, and leadership.
