In this enlightening episode of The NOCE Dose, host Bianca D. McCall sits down with Alisa Howard to explore the vital role of Community Health Workers (CHWs) in behavioral health, with a particular focus on addressing opioid use disorder. With compassion and clarity, Alisa underscores the power of lived experience in reducing stigma, building trust, and humanizing the healthcare system.
Together, they delve into how CHWs act as a bridge between clinical care and the communities they serve, offering peer support, cultural understanding, and a voice for those often left unheard. Alisa reflects on how “the thing that once saved me is now killing me,” highlighting the complexities of recovery and the importance of empathy in healing work.
The conversation also touches on the financial sustainability of CHW roles, the need for formal integration into healthcare settings, and the professional development of CHWs. Through themes of forgiveness, sustainability, and the 8 Dimensions of Wellness, this episode challenges healthcare systems to rethink how they define support and healing.
As Alisa says, “Community needs to be community all of the time,” and this episode is a reminder that true health must also include humanity.
