Napa Promotores Team Receives Spanish Imagine You Training

Imagine You provided part one of the all-Spanish Imagine You Training for Community Resilience to a group of 27 Promotoras working in Napa Valley, California. The training provided participants with skills that help them more effectively offer client support and utilize skillful ways to move clients forward. It also provided tools to boost the Promotoras’ own resilience, reduce burnout, and mitigate the vicarious trauma and chronic stress they experience. The Promotoras who participated in part one of the Imagine You Napa series are the trusted messengers in the BIPOC Napa Valley communities they serve. They report being able to immediately apply the Imagine You skills and tools with the community members they serve in housing programs, health education, parenting classes, and many other programs and initiatives.
Promotoras who participated represent the following: Napa Valley Community Housing, The Neighborhood Initiative, Napa County Recovery Center, Puertas Abiertas Napa, Parents Can, Providence Queen of the Valley Hospital, Shearer Family Resource Center, Parent University, Silverado Farming, Child Start, and Vision y Compromiso.

Imagine You is grateful for the partnership and in-kind support from Napa Valley Community Housing.

Participant quotes:

“This training gave me resources at hand to remember and review. I have learned how to share these resources with more people.”

“I will start up healthier habits because this training has helped me become more self aware with my actions/habits and how they affect me.”

“This training helped me to be able to listen to others, and to have the compassion to let go of my agenda.”

Imagine You would like to thank Kaiser Permanente Community Benefit Napa/Solano for making this project possible.
