Looking for the old 12 promising processes. The page it takes me to now is "Processes for Change", but does not go anywhere, do anything, nor does it have any useful information.

I can't find anything on the 12 processes now as a collective (I can still find them individually), but sheets like "identification of promising processes from research/practice sources" and the page that models these processes on your prevention model with links seem to all be gone. Any suggestions?

I had the pleasure of being introduced to Community Psychology and meeting a number of SCRA members at the recent biennial. Since returning home, I have been exploring the literature on a number of issues, one of which is empowerment. My question is whether anyone can recommend specific measures of empowerment that I could obtain and hopefully adapt for use in international development work in rural communities of Nepal. Any advice on/references to specific instruments would be much appreciated! Best, marcia

How can I help girls in my community to develop leadership skills and support them in meeting school fees to reduce high drop out and poor performance of girls in my community. Thank you.

I am a high school teacher and I am interested in creating a public service announcement about education and students in school. I have some ideas but I do not know whom to contact to get the ball rolling. I need to get in touch with someone who can help me realize my ideas. It needs to someone who can help me hook up with a production company and help me distribute it to TV stations. I have the ideas and the vision; I do not have the money, the equipment, or the broadcast facilities. I am hoping I can solicit people in the broadcast industry to donate their expertise and resources in the interest of improving public education. I believe a quality PSA shown to students on MTV and their parents on mainstream networks, and shown repeatedly will strengthen the image of public education. Any thoughts on how I might begin this endeavor?

Also I am ignorant to using the microsoft excel program... I was wondering if you had a simple way to convert spreadsheets to graphs? I know I'm a mess!
