Promotores Serving Sonoma County Receive Imagine You Training

Imagine You created a Resilience and Skills Training for Community Health Workers, Promotores, Case Managers, Enrollment Counselors, and Resource Referral Specialists working in Sonoma County. The goal was to help enable participants to better connect and support their patients/clients, while empowering them to self-advocate and discover inner strength along their respective health journeys. As typical of any Imagine You training, the course provided participants with stress relieving tools, skills working with patients and the healthcare team, and how to relate all this information back to their own personal values and strengths. Here are some sentiments from two of the 24 participants:

“ I liked the way the training was presented with respect and empathy.”

“I have and plan to incorporate them as a Community Health Worker, especially when it comes to supporting clients in a work environment, but also within myself when I feel overwhelmed and stressed. I really enjoyed learning the S.T.O.P.P. Technique and the handouts we were given helped me understand the benefits and how their implementation can help in further instances of crisis or emotional support.”

This training featured Imagine You trainer Claudia Leiva, and founder Ellen Barnett, MD, PhD in English, featuring materials in English and Spanish.

Imagine You thanks the founders who made this possible:
