Excerpt
A Southern New Jersey Community Health Worker Coalition project aims to create a standardized intake assessment and database to study the social determinants of health, identify disparities and other needs of clients served by CHWs in Atlantic County and ultimately throughout southern New Jersey.
We will develop and pilot a culturally congruent health survey that measures individual, community, and institutional adversities experienced by Black men injured by firearms in South Jersey.
This project seeks to evaluate the embedding of a professionally-trained social worker within the Millville Police Department (MPD) in order to more effectively respond to individuals experiencing mental/emotional health crises, substance abuse, and homelessness-related issues.
