Positive, healthy relationships help to heal loneliness, isolation, anxiety, and depression[6]. Deployment of CHW/PSM interventions has been proven to increase the quality of life in communities, creating trusted communal networks that can identify issues, co-create sustainable solutions, and increase community-level knowledge about available resources. An identified best practice is for CHWs to spend a significant amount of extended face-to-face time with families as this is integral to building a trusting relationship.[7] In some cases, CHWs/PSM may even accompany community members to mental health, health care and financial appointments, providing emotional support. When trust takes root, residents and families grow and learn together, resulting in deeper bonds, improved wellness, and stronger neighborhoods.
