We believe that CHWs have the skills and experience to understand what patients are going through and help them address the social and medical problems that lead to poor health.

Although a CHW is not in a clinical role, having the capacity to learn basic clinical concepts in order to identify when a referral to a licensed clinician is appropriate is an important skill.
The CHW will work with patients receiving care at Brigham and Women's Hospital outpatient psychiatric clinic.

We believe that CHWs have the skills and experience to understand what patients are going through and help them address the social and medical problems that lead to poor health.

Although a CHW is not in a clinical role, having the capacity to learn basic clinical concepts in order to identify when a referral to a licensed clinician is appropriate is an important skill.
The CHW will work with patients receiving care at Brigham and Women's Hospital outpatient psychiatric clinic.

• Develop and maintain strong working relationships with the social worker, nurse, psychiatrist and health center behavioral health team.
