CHW Grand Rounds
We believe CHWs deserve spaces that reflect the importance of their work and support their continued growth as professionals, leaders, and advocates.
​​t is a place where frontline workers are not just invited to participate — they are centered. It is a place where lived experience is respected, community knowledge is elevated, and practical wisdom is shared across roles and systems.

Why It Matters:​
​
​Community Health Workers are essential to improving access, trust, engagement, and continuity of care. They support individuals and families facing complex health, behavioral health, and social challenges every day.
​
CHW Grand Rounds creates a dedicated space where that work is recognized, strengthened, and advanced.
​
By investing in CHW learning and leadership, we help build a more prepared, connected, and resilient workforce — one that is better equipped to respond to community needs and drive health equity forward.
Workshop:
From Crisis Response to Upstream Prevention:
How Community Health Workers Build Healthier Communities
Lead Presenter: Rev Dr. Ali ABY Muhammed
This workshop will present a Massachusetts-based, community-engaged prevention model led by Community Health Workers (CHWs) working across community, shelter, behavioral health, and hospital-connected settings in Boston and Cambridge over the past several years.
The session focuses on what happened when frontline prevention work was designed not only to respond to crisis, but also to interrupt the conditions that place people at risk in the first place. The workshop will describe how CHWs used trauma-informed engagement, harm reduction, care coordination, and partnership building to support people affected by housing instability, substance use, mental health stress, social isolation, and barriers to care.
