Are you aware of any survey or a bank of questions I can use in a survey I could develop with my staff, parents and students to assess our level of cultural competence, implicit biases and institutionally racist practices?
Enhancing Cultural Competence أربعاء, 03/30/2016
Hi CTB,
I live in a small town in central CA but I grew up in.... Kansas!!!!! So I had to write to you. My dad was a prof at KSU. No kidding. Kansas was a wonderful place to grow up. Wouldn't trade it for anything!

Here's my question: I haven't spent a lot of time reading everything on your site; there is SO much to read! I'm hoping you can point me in the best direction. I am a parent of two school aged children. Our town is about 40% White, 55% Latino, 5% Punjabi. 70% of the kids in our schools qualify for free/reduced meals, so money is an issue for most folks. Many of the Latinos and Punjabi adults do not speak English. Our schools are in pretty poor shape, both in terms of academics and facilities. In Nov. '18, some people (of which I am one) would like to pass a school bond or a tax so that we can raise money to fix the schools and haev better programs. However, we all agree that the community is not unified and there is a lack of trust between different groups. In addition, our largest voting majority are elderly or "empty nesters", so they no longer have a child in school.

I believe that we need to figure out how to build trust between the groups and unite the community, so that we can pass a bond or a tax for the schools.

HOW can we build community and trust between such a wide variety of people, who are different in age, culture/ethnicity, socioeconomics, and language, and who have very different goals?

Thank you very much!

We are looking to start a youth peer group for 14-24 year olds living with a mental illness. I would like to have a contract for the youth to sign when they first join stating they will be respectful and no aggression. Is there anything I could use as a guideline. While I want this to be their group I feel there needs to be some guidelines and responsibilities for the participants.

We are going to build and start several support groups that address the needs of our particular population (cancer patients, cancer survivors, their families, etc) we are going to develop groups that address such things as How Cancer Impacts Everything and Everyone, How to continue to work fulltime or part time with Cancer, How do I explain this to my kids, and many others.

I am on a committee that would like to use Photovoice concepts to explore one particular zip code in Reno, Nevada. We want to use 'at-risk' youth, all of them have smart phones. We were thinking of having them upload images directly to a shared site or platform. Does anyone have any experience with this versus digital/traditional cameras??

I am looking to develop an assessment of baseline health information for a group of people in a different country that has asked for a health clinic to be built with the help of another outreach group. The outreach group needs to find a way to establish why the community wants the health clinic and what it will be used for, along with a baseline assessment. My degree is in public health so I have been asked to help with this. It has been so long since I have created something like this and was looking for a place to start as there are a number of obstacles to overcome with this assessment (like language, culture/societal norms etc). Any guidance would be appreciated.

when does a gathering become a community? Analyzing Problems and Goals أحد, 12/27/2015
I will be installed as the 2016 President of the Ruritan National Foundation (RNF) Board in January 2016 in Jacksonville, FL. Ruritan National has about 1,000 clubs and 28,000 members primarily located in the small towns and rural communities of the eastern U.S. Our RN clubs focus on community service, fellowship, and goodwill. Most of our clubs offer educational scholarships and provide a variety of community service projects.
RNF has a corpus of about $4 million and annual earnings of about $200,000 are used to encourage local RN clubs to provide scholarships to community students.
The RNF Board would like to double our corpus in the next five years (2016-20) to over $8 million. The persons in line to serve at RNF Presidents over the next five years have agreed to develop a strategic plan to raise the $4 million and to work diligently to achieve $8 million and use it to more than double our current impact.
Can your Advisiors help lead us thru a strategic planning process beginning in January 2016?
Your suggestions and assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

I am working on a project that is trying to connect multiple groups, across professional sectors as well as community members, in an effort to reduce recidivism/enhance community stability for individuals and families after incarceration. One of the things we are trying to do is create a resource guide/reference guide type document for people to reference about what services exist, and basic information on how they are structured. For example, a mental health professional could reference it to get a basic idea of how community corrections works, what services they provide, how the funding works, and a general contact number/site for more information. Or a case manager in a correctional facility could reference it to see how a person quaifies for Medicaid, or how substance abuse treatment is paid for in Iowa and how the waitlists work. I've done a lot of looking around to try and find some guidance or even an example of what I am trying to do- basically a source of information to better connect people to services that already exist to try and reduce duplication, identify gaps, and reduce the "silo" effect. Not a directory, but it would have important contacts in it. Is this something you have any resources you could point me towards? Or language to describe it even? If not no worries, I might be making it more complicated than it actually is.

Your site is amazing, and I am sure I will visit it frequently now that I have discovered it, thanks!

I have two questions:
1. Do you know of any online course about Mental Health in the community? if so, could you give me the names and so on, if not, could you guide and coach me in setting up such a course?
2. I have started studying ecology related topics and problems. What impresses me most is the number of organisations which deal with it, both nationally and globally. In my opinion the disadvantages of this are bigger than the advantages. Are there also organisations which streamline and coordinate all these or some of these organisations? If so, which? (Tellus, 350.org.?)if not, do you think it would be a good idea to organize such thing?

Hello! Do any of you provide (a 90-minute) presentations/discussions to not-for-profits on your toolbox--a summary of the modules, how it works, its efficacy in communities, etc.? I'm with a hospital assn., and our members are all NFPs. We are putting on a conference in March (16-18, in Bozeman), and want to provide some conceptual education (that gets into the how-tos) about building coalitions to improve the health of their communities. Many of them are small, rural/frontier, and this is fairly new for them. I'd like to start at the beginning with them to show how it can be done, no matter their size or location. Thank you.
