    Who I am Use of CTB
    I am an MSW student at the Univ. of Denver and stumbled across the Toolbox in a resource guide at my current field placement (a community-based non-profit). I graduated from KU in 1994 from the WAW school of Journalism and I'll admit I like checking out anything to do with KU because it keeps me connected to a good part of my life.
    		 I am not using it but will certainly keep it in mind.

    Just found your site. Having problems with some members of church (we are located on church property but separate organization) being overly critical of everything - and most of them have never had direct contact. Controversy seems to stem from historically white middle class parishoners seeing outreach to mostly minority individuals on campus. A real pain. Hope your info will help.

    I am an MSW student at KU doing a practicum at El Centro in Kansas City, KS.
    I am trying to use CTB to help me with data collection procedures. I am trying to find some "best-practices" information about how to get staff to talk about benefit structures, what they want, what they don't want, what they use, and what they have questions about. So far, there has been too much information to sift through to find what I need, though I am sure it's here somewhere.
