What a two days in Worthington! 🌾
The ARcaMind team was proud to attend and present at the Rural CHW Conference hosted by the Minnesota Community Health Worker Alliance, October 8–9, 2026.
What is a Community Health Worker?
A Community Health Worker (CHW) is a trusted community member who connects people to health and social services and helps them get care that fits their culture and needs.
In rural Minnesota, where distance, provider shortages, and limited resources can stand between people and care, CHWs are often the bridge that makes the difference.
Our session focused on Problem Management Plus (PM+), a World Health Organization program that equips trained non-specialists, like CHWs, to help people manage stress, anxiety, and everyday problems. It’s a practical way to bring mental health support closer to home in communities where specialists are hard to reach.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and shared their questions and insights. We left inspired by the stories, the collaboration, and the commitment in that room. A big thank you to the MN CHW Alliance for having us. We’re looking forward to continuing these conversations and supporting the CHW workforce across Greater Minnesota. 💙
