health systems support

Our technical assistance and capacity development work is focused on supporting transformative change that is guided, led, and sustained by the communities it is designed to benefit. By strengthening public health systems, processes, and service delivery, capacity development plays a key role in improving program implementation and achieving better health outcomes.

Our Capacity Development Work

  • CE Module Development: HIV, Syphilis & HCV Care in Indian Country

    The Raven Collective partnered with the Great Plains Tribal Leaders’ Health Board and Cardea to develop a series of free, self-paced continuing education modules focused on HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis C (HCV).

    Designed for clinicians, pharmacists, nurses, and public-health professionals working in Indian Health Service, Tribal, and Urban Indian (I/T/U) settings, these modules emphasize practical, workflow-ready approaches to screening, diagnosis, treatment, and linkage to care. Content is grounded in the realities of Tribal health systems and informed by culturally responsive, stigma-reducing, and syndemic-aware practices.

    Together, this collaboration strengthens the Indigenous health workforce by expanding access to high-quality training that supports timely, compassionate, and integrated care across HIV, STI, and HCV prevention and treatment.

  • Tribal Disease Investigation (TDI) Training

    In Tribal communities, public health professionals are not just investigators—they are community members, relatives, and often the first line of defense in preventing and responding to outbreaks of infections such as syphilis, HIV, hepatitis C, and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The TDI Learning Pathway is designed to provide foundational education and ongoing support for both new and established disease investigators.

    For more information on TDI training, please contact Ashley.

  • Community Health Professionals Training

    The Indigenous Syndemic Pathway is a community-rooted training series designed to equip Community Health Professionals—like Community Health Representatives, Health Aides, Peer Navigators, and Case Managers—with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to respond to the intersecting health challenges impacting our Native communities.

    For more information on CHP training, please contact Niki.

  • Meaningful Partnership Course

    The Raven Collective, Cardea Services and NACCHO built a course designed to enhance understanding and foster effective partnerships with Indigenous communities. This course is designed for anyone looking to build and sustain better working relationships with Indigenous communities, organizations, and clinics to support health equity and wellness.
