I was born, raised and educated in Hawaii on the island of Oahu. My background is pediatric nursing and pediatric medical social work. At the present time I am semi-retired and serve as a faculty member in the Maternal and Child Health-Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disorders and related Disabilities, one of 35 programs in 28 states.
With that being said, when I found the Community Tool Box I was very excited. It is very concise and informative and easy to access for all my trainees. It has become part of my tool box to see how the functions we do in training compare and compliment each other. As Hawaii's population size, culture and resources are somewhat limited it is invaluable to interact with other states in the health care field. Thank you for allowing me to access your Community Tool Box,

Who I am Use of CTB
I am a non-profit professional, former Graduate student ('14) and a part-time college professor.
I have used the Community Tool Box in a variety of ways in recent years - as a professional, student and professor.

Aside from using the website for my own learning & development and project problem-solving; I used the "Out of the Box" contest while teaching a 3-semester-long Community Development and Change college course. Students, in the midst of their community development research projects, were asked to review the finalists for the Community Tool Box "Out of the Box." They reviewed the projects to answer: community need, community involvement, potential concerns/problems, estimated costs, implementation needs, etc.

The project allowed the students to take pieces they were using in the classroom and apply them in the real world. Students were able to visualize each of the community change elements in action and in sequence. Which made both the classroom experience and their projects that much stronger.

Students were encouraged to consider voting, which all did. They also championed their favorite projects among their classmates and cheered those that won. It was an amazing experience on all levels.

Who I am Use of CTB
I'm the Substance Use Prevention Program Manager for Utah County, with over 592,000 residents. We provide prevention services for the entire county, by delivering evidence based strategies. We continue to have some of the lowest use rates in our state, and lower numbers than the rest of the nation. We can only keep our numbers low by offering effective prevention practices and programs.
We have used the tool box when we complete needs assessments and update our strategic plan. When looking to the internet to find resources that can truly work to help us in our efforts, the FIRST place I go is to the Community Toolbox. I know I'll find what I need to help me move forward in whatever endeavor I'm taking on in my prevention work. We used the toolbox when we were looking at collaborating with community partners. We looked at it all through our strategic planning, and it was PRICELESS. I can't tell you how many times I have referred to the toolbox to help me get down to the real tools needed to complete steps in a process. There is nothing out there that is more comprehensive and easy to use. I hope and pray it doesn't go away and remains a resource I can utilize when needed.

I am using eight modules of the Community Tool Box in my Social Change course. Half the course covers theories of social change and the other half consists of group projects in which students implement strategies to affect change in the community. The Tool Box provides the necessary background, skill-building, concepts, and activities for students to pursue their change project systematically. It is a valuable guide for anyone interested in understanding how to pursue work that impacts one's local community.

Who I am Use of CTB
I am a lecturer in the School of Nursing at Otago Polytechnic in New Zealand. I coordinate the BN 3rd year primary health care nursing course, and the clinical placement for all nursing students for this paper is working with identified communities to identify vulnerable groups and health issues related to them. For this students complete a community scan by using the Community as Partner (Anderson & Mcfarlane; Battye et.al, 2006) framework, consult with key stakeholders/partners for the vulnerable group (often migrants, youth, rural health or ethnic minorities e.g. Maori) in the community. Health needs (e.g. mental health, poor access to health care, sexual health etc.) are identified and resources are developed e.g. websites, pamphlets, submissions etc.
I came across your site while researching resources the students could use, and can see the application of this in our programme.
I am writing to gain permission to share the Tool Box with the students. I see this as an adjunct or addition to my teaching and support for students learning.
Not currently using it, but see the benefits of using aspects of the Tool Box. The students are undergraduate and have only 4 weeks to complete their placement.
