The FCB is pleased to offer the Certified Community Health Worker (CCHW) credential.
A Certified Community Health Worker (CCHW) is a trusted member of the community who helps connect people to health and social services. They act as a bridge between individuals and healthcare providers, helping people access the support they need. Community Health Workers also play a key role in improving how services are delivered—making sure care is respectful, culturally appropriate, and responsive to the needs of the community.
All CCHW’s have demonstrated competency through training, experience, clinical supervision and testing in the performance domains of:
- Communication and Education
- Resources
- Advocacy
- Foundations of Health
- Professional Responsibilities
Disclaimer: The CCHW credential does not permit independent practice; CCHWs are authorized to provide services in community mental health centers and licensed inpatient or outpatient mental health treatment settings.
If you’re ready to turn your experience into purpose and make a lasting impact, becoming a CCHW could be your next step.
