RICHES (Resources in Communities Helps Encourage Solutions) is a network of organizations across North Carolina dedicated to improving women’s health and reducing the racial and economic disparity in women’s health status. • The project goal: build the capacity of community-based organizations to address the health and health related needs of women in their communities. • Through the 2007-2008 pilot project, the RICHES Network asked for help to develop educational materials such as My Health Journal to help them work with the women they serve. • This web-based training offers the opportunity to connect with resources, community – based organizations and ideas you can use every day for a healthy life and a healthy family.
