Community Health Workers

Childhood Cancer & the Environment program

We work with community health workers to educate parents and caregivers about environmental influences on childhood cancers. It is vital that we reach out to communities with this information so that families can understand how to avoid risk factors and protect their children. Our free educational materials include a 35-page pdf of a “flip book” and accompanying PowerPoints in English and Spanish. We hope you will use them in your community work and welcome feedback from you on their use. We conduct trainings on the use of these materials for community health workers. Contact pehsunpo@phi.org if you would like further information.

View our resources for community health workers below. We offer factsheets, infographics, a flipbook, powerpoint, educational activities, informational videos, a graphic novel, a podcast, and a blog.

“Training this group (promotores de salud and community health workers) is a catalyst for growth, learning, and development, creating ripples of positive change in the communities they serve.
