Hi! I'm working with a multi-agency group on water quality improvement. We've got a "plan" that identifies key problems and lays out 13 broad goals to address the problems. In 2005 a coordinator was hired to coordinate the implementation of the plan. She took another position at the end of 2007 amid frustration. I have convinced the powers that be that we need to update the original plan so that we have clearer measures of success and a bonafide "coordination strategy". However, there's a push to hire a new coordinator as soon as possible. Here's my big question: would it be better to wait to hire a coordinator until after the plan is revised so we know what we need this person to coordinate or, to go ahead and hire a coordinator so s/he can be involved with revising the plan?

Trained as a clinical psychologist, my exposure to community psychology is limited. However, in reading the APA Task Force on Urban Psychology, I am interested pursuing more fully professional opportunities related to Urban Psychology. However, I have had a very difficult time finding additional resources (books, websites, journal articles) that might help me further my knowledge in this area. As this seems like an area that might fall within community psych, I am hoping you might have some ideas for the next best steps. Thank you for any insight you might be able to offer

I am a health visitor/midwife part of new planning group for healthy children's centres in the UK, which the healthy schools programme will follow. I have written the outline health promotion, healthy eating, physical exercise and emotional health, which includes babies & pre-school chidren, parents, staff. This is to follow a evaluation document, which will be piloted at two children's centres in the county before transferring it to the other newly established children's centres in the country. I am struggling to produce a logic model, which will be similar to the healthy schools model. Any suggestions. As I am completing my MPH module on a community action plan, I wish to use this area.
