Hi, I am a Settlement Outreach Worker for Cornwall Immigrant Resource Centre. I am trying to start up workshops and activities to promote community awareness. Because I am working with immigrants, I try to find out what it is they are looking for. I have been told that conversion circles, as well as cooking clubs are great. |

I am looking for information on dealing with roadblocks to change. In my situation the teachers at a school and the administrators have different views on how to change. The admin listen to our (teachers) input and take partial steps toward doing these things but often it is incomplete, does not last or we just talk about it and the admin does not do their part. I think that one of the main problems is in communication because even when the admin do things they don't tell us. Any suggestions? |

Hello! I work for a safety-net community health clinic in Berkeley, CA. We are trying to more fully engage our highly diverse community of patients in how we plan and deliver our health services. In an effort to make our care more patient-centered, more culturally appropriate, and more aligned with our patients' real life experiences, we established a patient advisory council at one of our Oakland clinics, with promising results. We are hoping to build on this success, yet keep things sustainable for our struggling non-profit, by bringing patients into the patient satisfaction process. We're hoping to train patient advisory council members to develop and conduct patient surveys, one-on-one interviews and facilitate focus groups to address Quality Improvement initiatives. I am wondering if you know of any other community health clinics who have tried to do this. I am also wondering if you are aware of any training programs or literature that we could use to help orient and train our patient advisers so that they feel more confidant and can fully participate in this process. Thank you for your help! |

I work at Beckham Bates Elementary as STC CHANGE COORDINATOR for NUPA, And my job physical activity. I am on the wellness journey and hoping to change the way our community thinks about eating and other habits. I think that most of health issues and drug abuses are falling back to the lack of knowledge and what we are doing to ourselves in our community. I have just found one thing that has been working and I need support to make it happen. I want to make a difference and pedometers have seem to be a big hit. Everyone wants one. As many people as I give one, they have been moving. We need to get 10,000 steps a day and one hundred less calories. And we have enrolled in the America on the Move at Beckham Bates Elementay. It has been great and I want to get the community involved. Thanks. |

Hello I need to conduct a survey of the needs of older people in a county. I have census statists, but need to survey about needs. I am concerned to ensure that a broad cross section of older people are included and don't have a database of addresses where older people live. Since some people will be homebound, some will be at work, and some will be out and about, can you help me by suggesting how I should conduct the survey to ensure that I get the full range of older people. Also I know that if it is not a random sample I can't say that the results apply to the wider popultion, but how do I overcome this so that organsation has enough information on which to base strategic decisions in the best interests of those in need within the community Whew! all this has been causing sleepless nights. Can you help |

I am a student taking my "Family Supports Certificate" through Distance Education and am on my last class and love this website and wanted to ask some advice. I am creating a program for the Military Family resource centre where I volunteer which will focus on "Empowering Parents" to "take back parenting", learn to not be afraid to say no to your child, and to set boundaries for your child and yourself in relation to the military lifestyle. I am hitting a wall when it comes to creating my goals and objectives. I always have a hard time simplyfying this stage. Any help or guidance with this |

Hi there, I am a nursing student who has 13 weeks of practicum at a community drop in centre. With this time I have been asked to develop and deliver a diabetes education prevention program to some of the street involved, low income, new immigrants and refugee clients there. I am finding this very challenging because i feel like i know what they want me to do- design a couple of workshops about increasing fibre intake and decreasing sugar or something, so that I get an A in the course. It would be easy enough to produce a bunch of pamphlets, but there is not sustainability or capacity building... and that it would be nearly impossible to design let alone deliver, and evaluate any kind of meaningful, sustainable program in the next 13 weeks. i guess i am just venting a bit, but i don`t want to play into this kind of `pat yourself on the back for making educational materials that no one will read, but at least we can grade you on them` game. However, it feels like a very daunting task to begin... currently i am searching Toronto for experienced diabetes nurses who have worked with this type of population i am wondering how to engage the population in program design, etc., like participatory action projects... do you have any suggestions? thanks so much |

My name is Molly and I work with Susan G Komen for the Cure in community health. We have the opportunity to provide training to some partners in Jordan regarding asset mapping, locating assets, finding programs and services, evaluating those services and partnering with organizations. Do you know of any vital analysis models or tools used to accomplish this? In our asset mapping, we discuss GIS mapping, databases, and some other technology to look at statistics and online directories but realize this may not be an option in Jordan. Do you have any tools you have used in working with other countries? |

Hi there, I want to organize a community art event. I know what the event is but I need to get other agencies involved. However, I don't have all the details worked out such as deadline for submissions, gallery space etc. In fact, this information requires that approach other agencies! Can I approach or email agencies without having the entire project mapped out? What are some steps that I should follow? |

Hello! My state (Texas) is in the process of developing a community resource guide for pediatricians related to obesity. The hope is that the guide will provide a roadmap for community physicians to connect to local community agencies to build relationships around nutrition, exercise, and well-being. Does such a "road map" already exist for building obesity relationships, or for other disease processes? Thanks, Carl Tapia, MD CATCH Texas Co-Facilitator |

I am struggling with a new Executive Director and the internal controls. She believes she should have carte blanc over the financials and we as a charitable nonprofit need to make sure we are doing our fiduciary duties. If we have a policy in place shouldn't she follow this until we can discuss at an Executive Committee. I didn't see in the guide examples of these type of internal controls but I could have missed this! |
