I have begun researching community collaboration. Yet I believe communities participate informally in community collaboration whether it is shared planning in community events e.g., health fairs, wellness conferences to name a few, or informal meetings or formalized meetings, yet these community collaboration processes or categories/types of community collaborations are not identified. Can you point me to awesome resources?

I am looking to start a non profit within the next three years, but at the moment, I am currently working on a viral campaign to build our brand until we have the tools to start our work. Do you think this move is advisable or should the focus be exclusively on getting things ready for the start in the coming years?

How the research questions can be formed to reflect the current environment and modern ways of learning and exceeding customer expectations.

I'm a postdoctoral research fellow at City of Hope (a cancer center in Los Angeles) in the Center of Community Alliance for Research and Education (CCARE). We are planning a conference where we are going to invite members of the various community organizations, with whom we have a collaborative relationship, to present their work on our campus. We want to provide training for participating organizations to assist and guide them in developing their conference abstracts and their research posters. Our hope is that this can be the foundation for an ongoing collaboration regarding engagement in a dialogue about community-based research, as well as provide them with practical skills in developing research presentations (abstracts, posters, grants, manuscripts). Any advice on how to approach this or where we can obtain resources to teach to our community partners as they develop their abstracts and posters? Thank you!

Hello,
Do you have data on approximately how many back end hours I should budget per workshop hour? The curriculum is already developed and just needs to be modified for each workshop. Partners are helping us out with food & registration logistics, so we only have to worry about supplies, MOUs, partner communication, curriculum modification, and facilitation, etc. Thank you!

How can I promote peace and unity among youth in my community through programmed?

I am a sixteen-year-old high school student from Los Angeles. In my community there is small park that is not in very good conditions. As I walk by it every afternoon, I cannot ignore the tagging and the broken sign that has destroyed our park. In addition, the park is not securely locked in the evening making it very dangerous. I came across The Community Tool Box while reading Section 6: Improving Parks and Other Community Facilities which inspired me to change the conditions of our park and revitalize it. I would like to know who I could contact and what steps I could take to make our park beautiful again. Thank you for time.

Dear advisor from CTB,

First off, this is an amazing service and I briefly went over the suggested resources to read up on community engagement.

My question is about multiple-communities and engaging/starting communities online. I am a recent graduate from a business school in Canada, with start-ups and projects under my belt, as well as coding experiences. I was raised without a mother or father figure, had support getting over depression and was kicked out (but talked myself back in) from University twice. I want to help make depression and other mental illnesses easier to cope with. I want to bring together communities of people struggling through various illnesses, or bring together communities of caregivers to patients, the elderly and family/friends that are suffering through depression.

Ultimately, I would like to create an online platform that allows people to communicate with each other about their problems and also seek low-cost therapy (through online chat and video). In differentiation from other services I would like to add a layer that works to defeat the stigma of depression. The biggest problem people with depression suffer through is the blame they put on themselves for not being "normal". Even if online therapy exists, it is often hard for someone to accept that they are struggling and to get help. This is why I would like to add a layer of self-assessment quizes and short weekly email reminders or guides, developed with the help of psychologists, to help people first accept their state of well being and drive them to accept help and to talk to others more freely.

It is very very easy for someone that has depression to lock themselves in. Their only way out at times is the internet. I remember myself going through articles of "how to cure depression". The wait times to see a therapist at my University were 3 - 4 months long between appointments (and this is in Canada, I can only imagine the wait time in the states). A psychologists costs $300 an hour. Very fast I ran out of options very quickly and hope to come up with a comprehensive online program that lets someone get back up on their feet slowly.

Do you have any suggestions on how I can get involved in the mental health community in the states, which contacts I should reach out to first and how I can validate this idea before spending time developing the websites and recruiting help?

I would love any mentorship and guidance on how I can get started to chat with peer support groups and psychologists - to bring them on board and to also find out their needs.

Thank you so much for your help. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Angelina
