NC AHEC, as an anchor partner in the NC CHW Initiative, is committed to ensuring that Community Health Workers have access to high quality training and professional development resources. A vital workforce for advancing health equity, it is important that CHWs are able to deepen their knowledge and sharpen their skills for providing all North Carolinians with the opportunity for health and wellness.

NC AHEC has developed a series of trainings geared towards deepening CHW knowledge and skills of Health Coaching and Behavior Change. Standards for CHW Specialty training developed by key NC CHW Initiative stakeholders, including CHWs and CHW supervisors, guided the development of these modules. Each module provides continuing education credit recognized by the NC CHW Association for the purposes of maintaining certification.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a person-centered approach designed to help people identify their readiness, willingness, and ability to make meaningful changes in their lives. This course reviews MI techniques and provides examples using MI to evoke motivation for healthy changes in clients with common health conditions.
