Free TA and Training: Building Sustainable In-Home Asthma Services

Are you looking for guidance, tools and support to build or scale sustainable asthma home visiting services in your state or community, with a focus on policy and system change solutions?

PHI’s Regional Asthma Management & Prevention (RAMP) and the National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH) are partnering to offer free technical assistance and training to expand and sustain in-home environmental asthma interventions, as part of a new 3-year Cooperative Agreement with the US Environmental Protection Agency.

Examples of TA include:

• Providing strategic guidance on program and policy development
• Sharing best practices from other programs across the country
• Serving as a thought partner in establishing and achieving goals
• Strategizing to overcome challenges and continue progress
• Facilitating peer-to-peer learning
• Supporting fundraising by identifying opportunities and supporting proposals
• Sharing examples of tools developed by programs across the country
• Helping to develop new tools by providing content and providing feedback
• Conducting presentations to build capacity of TA recipients and their partners
• Highlighting TA partners’ successes to advance the field

RAMP and NCHH will prioritize responsiveness and flexibility over a more prescriptive approach by meeting TA participants where they are, building on their organizational and community strengths and needs, and understanding the broader policy and systems context in which they work.

In addition to providing direct TA, RAMP and NCHH also facilitate peer learning opportunities and have develop tools in response to identified needs. For example, they developed an interactive tool—Roadmap to Sustainable Asthma Home Visiting—to support the many ways local champions can approach designing and launching an asthma home visiting program or service.

Also available: Free capacity-building workshops for asthma home visitors

For over two decades, RAMP has hosted capacity-building workshops for Community Health Workers, promotoras, and other asthma educators in California. With our new Cooperative Agreement, RAMP is now offering these workshops to participants across the country. Participants identify meeting topics, and we find experts for presentations and discussion, hosting 8-10 virtual meetings per year.
