Description
MiCHWA is providing CHW training to local health department staff that are associated with MDHHS's Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP) program (via MPHI). The goal of the initiative is to increase the number of CHWs that work with families whose children have either elevated blood lead levels and/or are at risk of lead poisoning.
