I found myself at a stuck point while building a presentation concerning cultural awareness within a working environment and after simply browsing through your site (Community tool box) I was quickly reminded about flow and the importance of gathering Data.
I got the data I needed and formulated a evenly flowing PowerPoint presentation with some calmness of Spirit.
I am grateful for what CTC has extended to me and yes I got a handsome compensation but please know that I respect tithing/donations and the like and you can trust I will express my gratitude in a timely manner.

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.

I am the Compeer Officer for ACT (Australian Capital Territory). I match trained volunteers with people living with mental health issues, as part of a friendship programme.

I've been training volunteers for a long time but there is always something new to learn and the Community Tool Box is an excellent resource. it deals with complex issues in a clear and concise way rather than resorting to the lowest common denominator. Hope that makes sense...,.

I would love to share that after a fast paced year of our organization making a splash in our city, we have realized that we have had a lot of missing gaps. Finding your website/resources has been a God send! In fact, we would love to chat with you and see if you would be open to us sharing about your services and making it one of our recommended resources to our community network.

We would love to chat and share more about how much this has been such a cool resource! Thank you to all who have gone through the work to make this available!

I've worked in the environmental movement since 2002 for organizations like Green Corps, Sierra Club, and Greenpeace. I'm also a KU alum - so was delighted to stumble upon this resource.
