This comprehensive Facilitator’s Guide supports trainers, programme managers, and field staff in equipping community health volunteers (CHVs) to deliver age-inclusive, community-based health support. Focused on older populations, it provides structured modules, facilitation tips, and practical exercises covering topics such as outreach, basic screening, NCD prevention, mental health support, and referral pathways. Crafted for adaptability across diverse contexts, the guide strengthens community-based care models by empowering volunteers with the knowledge and tools needed to address older people’s health needs effectively and sensitively.
