Latino Community Health Workers
Progress in Community Health Partnerships: Research, Education, and Action - Volume 16, Issue 1, Spring 2022
Latino Community Health Workers
Health care providers are encouraged to attend to both the mental health and physical needs of Latinos in culturally informed and sensitive ways. Given the shortage of adequately trained mental health providers, CHWs are key in accomplishing these goals
The complexity of community participation
This paper compares the perspectives of six professions -social workers, lawyers, nurses, physicians, psychologists and public health professionals- on ways to improve the health and social conditions of a prototypical low-income urban community. It examines how the cohort defined and deliberated on the process of involving "the community" in addressing issues facing a hypothetical neighborhood, even when the question was not part of the research…
The Global Comes Home
Social workers are called upon and expected to work with immigrants in culturally appropriate ways, particularly during a time of increased xenophobia. Yet, few are given the educational tools necessary to answer this call. A global human rights lens, informed by theories on work with immigrants, can provide a framework for social work educators and practitioners to traverse the values, knowledge, and skill necessary for culturally relevant work …
Professional Determinants in Community Collaborations
This mixed-methodology research examines the interdisciplinary community collaborative (ICC) experiences of 50 participants from six professions: law, social work, psychology, public health, nursing, and medicine. They came together for 1 of 2 intensive days of structured dialogue and collaborative problem-solving around a common case scenario, in both mono- and multidisciplinary groups. The main purpose of this study is to explore the similariti…
Education for Interdisciplinary Community Collaboration and Development
Social workers are actively engaging in the practice of interdisciplinary community collaboration (ICC) with the goal of bringing diverse groups together to improve the conditions of communities and enhance the quality of life of population groups. Yet, collaborations are challenging and require great skill and commitment. The pedagogy and the content of curricula have become a more prominent part of teaching to macro practice students and practi…
Comparative Perspectives on Interdisciplinary Community Collaboration between Academics and Community Practitioners
This article presents the results of a series of structured dialogues on the topic of interdisciplinary community collaboration (ICC), the term used to convey the complexity of bringing diverse organizations and constituencies together to produce progressive community change. Commonalities and differences between two cohorts—academics and practitioners—on core concepts needed to both teach and practice ICC are presented. These include power and s…
Interdisciplinary Community Collaboration
Six focus groups were convened to collect data on successful interdisciplinary community collaboration (ICC) strategies. Participants came from a variety of disciplines but shared the common identification of having worked in similar communities. Participant assignment to one of six groups was designed to insure diversity by gender and race or ethnicity. They discussed four questions received in advance. Prior consented tape-recorded sessions wer…
Towards Interdisciplinary Community Collaboration and Development
This article looks at the conceptualization and practice of interdisciplinary community collaboration and development (ICCD) in Israel and the US. It is based on the work of two interdisciplinary professional groups which were initiated by social workers—one in Israel and one in the US. This article presents a mapping of key issues and concepts, including distinguishing between mono-, multi-, and inter-, trans-disciplinary and inter-perspectives.…
