Question:
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.
Answer:

   It is exciting to hear about your plans for a conference that will assist not-for-profits in using the Community Toolbox--especially the components that speak building coalitions to improve health in small, rural communities. You asked whether the Community Toolbox has presentations that summarize the modules. Here are a few suggestions on this (thanks to those who helped put together the information below that gives a sense of the resources that might be useful to you).
     Regarding videos, the Toolbox doesn't have a full-length video describing the Toolbox. There is, however, a YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/CommunityToolBox. On that channel, a reader can find a two-minute infographic on the Community Toolbox call "Tools to Change Our World."  Also, under the Community Stories tab on the Toolbox home page (http://ctb.ku.edu/en/community-stories), you will find a series of short videos sent to us as entries in our 2015 Out of the Box contest. They vary in length and topic with most being shorter than ten minutes. You might find a few videos that could be relevant to your conference.
     Another resource might be the webpage for the Society for Community Research and Action (www.scra27.org). There you will find a collection of videos submitted for the SCRA video contest over the years. These can be found under the Resources tab. Also, Tom Wolff recently did a webinar on coalition building which can be found under the Resources tab on the SCRA web page.
    Best of luck with your conference!
