Course Description
Adapted from the University of Kansas’ Work Group for Community Health and Development’s Building Capacity for Collaborative Action Training Curriculum, this one day training provides an evidence based, in-depth look into sustaining the coalition.
Sustaining the work is one of the core competencies for competencies for effective substance abuse coalitions. Those of us working to promote community health and development understand that, in most cases, the results we hope to achieve will occur a long way down the road. There will be short-term successes and outcomes, to be sure, but real results, actual improvement in community outcomes is something we have to work for and wait for. Staying with the work requires faith, patience and persistence. Planning and acting for the future help ensure that human and financial resources are available long enough to make a difference.
