Goals:

The goals of our community are to:

  • Offer a dedicated space for CHWs to network, share, build community, and thrive
  • Defer to and respect CHW wants and needs for this space

Guidelines:

To meet the collective goals of our community and to ensure that everyone has the best possible experience, please review our community guidelines:

  1. Speak with care. Act with honesty and empathy, using each interaction to build community. 
  2. We are committed to creating a brave space for discussion. Take responsibility for the conversations you participate in. If you learn that something you said was perceived as disrespectful or marginalizing, pause to listen to and learn from that perspective before reacting. Reflect on how you could act in the future. 
  3. Respect the privacy and personal wishes of other community members.
  4. Reach out to community moderators for support.
  5. Contact us directly with feedback via email at [email protected] or on our website envisionequity.org/comment.
