(30) hour training graduate student states: "All of these trainings have been easy to understand and can apply to several situations someone might experience as a community health worker. I've worked with several people who live in very difficult conditions or live with chronic illnesses; these courses have been very helpful, particularly when it comes to finding and understanding the resources they need to live a more comfortable life."
