Greetings and gratitude! Our names are Ashleigh Paul and Andrew Young and we are from Phoenix, Arizona. We discovered your website while searching for questionnaire templates for assisting in the beginning phases of building a sustainable community and were impressed with your content. We are currently looking for resources to help with the first steps of formalizing a loose group of individuals into a more organized community with the goal of coming together to live sustainably. We realize that gaining information about the people involved is important. Our first goal is to build a detailed questionnaire form that can be utilized to gain data about the individuals and compile this to see the community resources and build a web with the information. Are there tools such as template questionnaires available for gaining this type of information and organizing it into a web or excel format? We will be reviewing all of the details provided on your website. If there is any specific advice, information, templates, etc. that you believe could benefit us at this time in our development or in the future, anything and everything would be greatly appreciated. We hope to connect with as many like-minded people as we possibly can and are excited to learn more about Community Tool Box! Thank you & many blessings!

I am slowly going through and processing the vast amount of information on your website and finding much of it helpful. I know that your work will compliment and assist in both my work and my involvement in various committees and advisory boards. However, there is a question that continually crops up for me. I work as a Peer Support Specialist and Community Health Worker in Behavioral Health. I'm stationed at our local drop-in center and am responsible for providing peer counseling and facilitating multiple groups each week. After experiencing frustration about the dearth of relevant services, support and finances, I decided to take action. That has included advocating and planning for the re-creation of our Board, creating an on-site micro-volunteering program which will involve various community organizations and businesses, starting a weekly women's group, looking at fund-raising opportunities and considering small grants, and have acquired the donation of a laptop to be used at the Center. My question stems from this: because my peers at the center are people living with severe, persistent mental illness and adults with developmental disabilities, they and my work are covered by HIPAA privacy laws. This complicates any involvement in outreach, etc as well as in developing relationships outside of the center. Are there work-arounds and solutions that I can implement to make my work more effective and to reassure my supervisors and management while protecting my peers?
