Meet Sandra. Sandra Romero joined the CHPW in April 2022 and started partnering with El Centro de la Raza last year. Throughout 2023, Sandra focused on strengthening relationships, connecting with coordinators at the organization, and getting to know the many programs offered through El Centro. She attended their cultural events like the Cinco de Mayo celebration, and their food bank and free legal clinics. Formed in the late ‘70s and translated to "The Center for People of All Races," El Centro de la Raza is open to everyone, though it largely connects the Latino/a community in Seattle and South King County with resources, including legal support and housing assistance. Sandra shared, "Whenever I go to El Centro, everyone is so appreciative that someone is there to help. I value the relationships I'm building there and the impact we can make together in the community. I speak Spanish, so for me, being able to communicate with families who otherwise may run into language barriers and supporting them in getting access to health care means a lot." Sandra is looking forward to growing her relationship with El Centro and getting involved with more of the programs they offer to help more families better access the support and care they need. Our local CHPW team is made up of people like Sandra who live in and serve communities across Washington State. At CHPW, we believe in the power of community. When we stand together, we stand stronger, united to welcome, support, and inspire members on their path to their best health.

Essential training for all people working in the health care sectors
Operations Manager | Delivering Specialist Training | Mental Health | Suicide Prevention | Self-Harm Awareness | Suicide Bereavement | ASIST Trainer
Yesterday I attended a fantastic session led by Michelle and James from Friends, Families and Travellers. Michelle shared that In 2018, The Equality and Human Rights Commission found that Gypsy and Traveller communities are the ethnic groups for which people most frequently expressed a negative opinion, at 44%. We know that frequent experiences of hate crime can be a contributing factor and can exacerbate the risk of suicide in this community. It's shocking to see that the GRT community's risk of suicide is 6x greater than that of the general population. Harmless and our funders Nottingham City Council, Nottinghamshire County Council and NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board will be working on an engagement project to better understand the self harm and suicide prevention support needs of the GRT community. Ahead of the project, this training was super helpful and thought-provoking. I would recommend attending the session if you are looking to engage with the GRT community in your services.
