Continuing the series of training courses on positive parenting skills under the EM-THRIVE Project [1] – Enabling Mountainous and Rural Children From Five Provinces in Vietnam to Grow and Thrive, the Quang Ninh Provincial Centre for Disease Control (CDC) organized the fifth training course for Communal Health Workers (CHWs) from the Tien Yen Commune area from 21 to 23 October 2025.

Training Content and Practical Activities
Similar to the previous four courses, the fifth training covered the same key modules and encouraged communal-level health workers to practice essential skills such as first aid, nurturing care, and early childhood development.
Participants also practiced mock teaching sessions to prepare for delivering parent education classes at commune health stations.
Strengthening Knowledge through Online Learning
Before joining the in-person training, 100% of participants completed the online course on the “Early Journey of Life” website, focusing on child care during the first 2,000 days of life.

This pre-learning component helped CHWs better understand the theory, making it easier to follow the practical sessions during the in-person training.
