A semester-long course for training of students as CHWs with additional EMPOWER training for delivering a brief trans-diagnostic psychosocial intervention.

Students will participate in a special topics course resulting in a CHW certification with the state of Texas. The course will focus on behavioral activation interventions. Undergraduate Bachelor of Social Work (BSWs) students will then be deployed to the health system as certified CHWs with mental health training to provide a sufficient level of care for many, and an entry point to clinical care for those who have needs that are currently unaddressed.
