Since this is a pilot, CEU credits will not be offered. However, a small stipend will be offered to participants who commit to implementing next steps developed through the training. The program will provide tools and additional resources to assist in implementing the next steps. Participants: We are targeting professionals who serve as the link or interface between clients/the community and organizations that provide cancer programs and services. These individuals wear various hats and have different titles, but examples include: community outreach workers, community advocates, community health representatives, and health educators.
