• My Healthy Baby Community Health Worker Modules

  My Healthy Baby partnered with WeCare at the Regenstrief Institute to provide these online modules for staff to complete on their own. These modules were created for perinatal community health workers. Others who work in the perinatal home visiting field may also find the modules helpful, either as an initial introduction to the topics, or as a refresher for those with more advanced knowledge.

  Please complete as many modules as you like. You will receive a certificate for each completed module achieving a pass rate of 80% or higher.

  Please register for the online learning modules here. Once you complete the survey, you will be automatically directed to the Canvas enrollment instructions. *Note—Google Chrome and Firefox are preferred browsers.

  The modules currently available include:

  • Effective Patient Advocacy
  • Birth Spacing & Family Planning
  • Breast Feeding
  • Smoking
  • Mental Health
  • Nutrition
  • Healthy Weight
  • Substance Use
  • Vaping
