Integrating Community Health Workers and Peer Support Specialists into Complex Care Teams: Tools from California’s Whole Person Care Program

View Publication

This blog features practical tools for organizations working with community health workers and peer support specialists.

The compendium of resources comes from California’s Whole Person Care, a statewide program that brings together public health care systems, behavioral health providers, Medi-Cal managed care health plans, and social service organizations to coordinate care and improve outcomes for people with complex health and social needs. Nearly all of the twenty-five regional coalitions or “pilots” participating in Whole Person Care have identified community health workers and peer support specialists as foundational to the success of the program.
