Hi,
I am currently conducting a needs assessment of our community in Stevens Point, WI for expanded environmental educational programming at a natural area called Schmeeckle Reserve. The reserve is owned and operated by the University of WI- Stevens Point, but it is open to the public and very much a community center as far as recreation, use of our meeting room, etc. We currently offer naturalist programs that are presented to the public as a part of our undergraduate capstone course, but are interesting in expanding programming if the need is there. I am wondering if you have experience or know of locations that have done similar types of assessment (i.e. assessing if there is a need for a specific program or concept)?
Your website has been tremendously helpful, and I would appreciate any resources that the workgroup might think of. Thank you! |

Hi, I am a wellness director for a short-term and long-term rehabilitation center; my background is in Kinesiology/Health Science and Health Education. We are introducing the wellness concept to my skilled-nursing company (7 domains of wellness: spiritual, physical, emotional, vocational, cognitive, social, and spiritual), and I want to have a luncheon and invite community wellness vendors (fitness instructors, massage therapists, life coaches, volunteer services, spiritual educators, etc.) to attend a luncheon at the facility. The purpose of the luncheon is to help foster relationships/partnerships within this community. What are some effective ways to invite the community vendors in for a luncheon? |

Looking for the old 12 promising processes. The page it takes me to now is "Processes for Change", but does not go anywhere, do anything, nor does it have any useful information.
http://ctb.ku.edu/en/processes-change#.Ul2m09JJMru
I can't find anything on the 12 processes now as a collective (I can still find them individually), but sheets like "identification of promising processes from research/practice sources" and the page that models these processes on your prevention model with links seem to all be gone. Any suggestions? |

I am a college graduate looking to study either community psychology or clinical community psychology. I am wondering about the difference between these two types of programs and what type of work each would allow me to do. It seems that a clinical community psychology program would be more beneficial because it would allow me the option of becoming certified as a counselor. However, the course lists seem to mirror clinical or counseling programs with only one or two courses focusing on community psychology, so I am wondering if a clinical-community psychology progam would not give me an in-depth training in the community aspect. As far as training and job placement, is there a major difference between these two programs and if so, what is it? |

I had the pleasure of being introduced to Community Psychology and meeting a number of SCRA members at the recent biennial. Since returning home, I have been exploring the literature on a number of issues, one of which is empowerment. My question is whether anyone can recommend specific measures of empowerment that I could obtain and hopefully adapt for use in international development work in rural communities of Nepal. Any advice on/references to specific instruments would be much appreciated! Best, marcia |

I am currently taking course of Community Assessment. We are supposed to March 18, 2011 11:00 PM ) interview a minimum of four key informants, individuals who work with the population or who are considered experts in the problems the population experience and determine what method should be selected to best reach the population we're interested in; what model we should use in assessing the population. My question is: to whom should I talk to about cancer rates and what questions should I ask? |

I am a high school teacher and I am interested in creating a public service announcement about education and students in school. I have some ideas but I do not know whom to contact to get the ball rolling. I need to get in touch with someone who can help me realize my ideas. It needs to someone who can help me hook up with a production company and help me distribute it to TV stations. I have the ideas and the vision; I do not have the money, the equipment, or the broadcast facilities. I am hoping I can solicit people in the broadcast industry to donate their expertise and resources in the interest of improving public education. I believe a quality PSA shown to students on MTV and their parents on mainstream networks, and shown repeatedly will strengthen the image of public education. Any thoughts on how I might begin this endeavor? |

I have been tasked to create a community health report & I was wondering if you had template(s) that would be simple, time efficient, & effective. My report is based on a study that was done to link the health effects experienced by the school faculty & students in the target community to the poor air quality.. Please help... Also I am ignorant to using the microsoft excel program... I was wondering if you had a simple way to convert spreadsheets to graphs? I know I'm a mess! |

I work with young people ages 17 - 24 years old who are high school drop outs . they work on earning a GED or High School Diploma while they perform construction new homes and rehabilitation of home in low income communities. 45% of our participants are young women and 95% of them are overweight. What can we do to stem the tide of diabetes and high blood pressure that will surely be the outcome for these young women by the time they reach 35. 95% are young mothers. |

Is there a list of key descriptive words to use in writing a grant? Some of us are new to writing and having a good descriptive database of words may help us jog our brain of what we really want to say. Thank you, |

I'm a nurse and I was thinking about teaching a community group for a class project. I have a school project that requires me to volunteer 30 hours. I must find a group, assess there needs and teach them something that would benefit them. They must be within the my community. I was thinking about teaching to a Boys & Girls club or local Boyscouts. As a nurse, what could I teach on? |

Hi, I plan an article or series of Q/A sessions around "what are the most effective building energy efficiency programs?" I'd like to know about a resource like yours that provides an advisor who would answer the above question. There are many community-level planners now weighing various program concepts and designs who may have little or no energy experience and the article, to run in Home Energy Magazine, will hopefully be a resource. I'm aware of the Rocky Mountain Institute community energy planning tool & want to learn about others. |
