Community Wellness Advocate (CWA) Training Program
The Community Wellness Advocate (CWA) Training Program is a new
program that trains students to effectively create and carry out health promotion
and health education activities. It is ideal for village health and human service
workers and others who want to help make a difference in the health of their
community. The CWA Training Program consists of three 4-credit courses taught
over one year.
All three courses are distance delivered via audioconference
and the Internet; the first and third course includes a one-week session taught
on the UAS Sitka campus (housing and financial aid available). The three courses
will provide a summary of the CWA idea, introduce the basic principles of public
health, survey Alaskan health systems, and teach how to assess and use health
resources both within and outside Alaska.
Additionally, the program will cover, in-depth, the foundations
of "one-on-one", group, and community health education. It will also teach the
skills necessary to become a successful health promoter. Lastly, the program
will cover the health issues and topics important to Alaskans. For more information
