Overview

The Regional Community Health Team (RCHT) is a new initiative to provide training, technical assistance, and resource support to build capacity of community-based partners in identifying and responding to community-driven health priorities. Our goal is to advance community health and well-being through training, technical assistance, and capacity building for community partners.

The RCHT provides technical assistance and capacity building to local and Tribal Health Departments, community-based organizations, and coalitions in support of community health assessment and planning processes, including:

Engaging community in community health assessment, planning, and decision-making processes, such as deliberative inquiry and community conversations.
Supporting community health assessment activities, such as partner/systems mapping, and developing/disseminating surveys.
Facilitating action planning, such as identifying evidence-based strategies and aligning partnerships.

The RCHT mobilizes the resources and expertise of the University of Wisconsin Extension’s Health and Well-Being Institute to facilitate education, training and skill building to local and Tribal Health Departments, community-based organizations, and coalitions on topics in support of community health, including, but not limited to:

Food and nutrition security, chronic disease prevention, environmental health, mental health promotion, social determinants of health, and substance use prevention, treatment and recovery.
