<DIV><FONT size=2>The Community Health Worker National Education Collaborative has facilitated a number of Technical Assistance workshops throughout several states. These workshops are great opportunities to learn more about what other states are doing to support community health workers as agents of change and gain an overview of Population Education - a community focused method of identifying problems/ causes and using their resources to address them. If you are interested in borrowing any of these DVDs from the OPHA Community Health Education and Promotion Library, please contact Loralee Trocio at </FONT><A href="mailto:loralee.j.trocio@state.or.us"><FONT size=2>loralee.j.trocio@state.or.us</FONT></A><FONT size=2> or for more information on these topics, visit </FONT><A href="http://www.chw-nec.org/index.cfm"><FONT size=2>http://www.chw-nec.org/index.cfm</FONT></A><FONT size=2> .</FONT></DIV>
