ReBUILD's Joanna Raven is speaking at the @ChwSymposium tomorrow in the plenary session, Healers in Hostile Settings: The Power of Community Health Workers in Conflict Settings.

📅 Wednesday 12th November
⏲️ 8-9:30am EST / 1-2:30pm GMT
🔗https://chwsymposium.org/registration/

$Advert for a CHW symposium session... Healers in Hostile Settings: The Power of Community Health Workers in Conflict Settings November 12th, 2025 | 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM (EST) Conflicts are intensifying and spreading, fracturing communities across the world. As systems are weakened by the impact of conflict, the role of CHWs often becomes even more critical. This session will examine how conflict transforms community health work, explore what CHWs can do in these challenging contexts and highlight the additional or specialized support that they need to continue delivering essential care in conflict-affected communities. *This live session will be re-broadcast for participants in other timezones on November 13th, 2025, from 10:30 PM to 12:00 PM (ICT).$
