Tips for Community Workers During COVID-19

This set of tips and discussion points for community workers during COVID-19 covers:
- how to engage with the people you are supporting
- asking good questions
- basic information about the virus
- Frequently Asked Questions
The document (which is short, don’t worry!) lays out a lot of what will be the instincts of most community workers anyways – but in this trying time, it can be helpful to have some clear pathways through very difficult conversations.
