I am a coordinator in the Program in Public Health at NU focusing on areas of the curriculum that pertain to community engagement & advocacy

We have used the Community Tool Box in many different ways to support our work! Recently, we did a gaps analysis- taking stock of our current established community partners & doing research to see what health areas they focus in so that we can target new partnerships strategically to fill any gaps. We used the Community Tool Box definitions of sectors/etc. to categorize our partner orgs and the work they do. It served as a really helpful frame for our research/categorizations.

Por aparte les envaré una presentación sobre prevención de la drogadicción y de la violencia que promueve nuestros cursos entre los hispanos.latinos en EE.UU.

La conocí por casualidad recién hoy y me sorprendió por sus temas y contenidos. Por mi experiencia durante 50 años la considero un buen esfuerzo y trabajo. La daré a conocer en varios contextos institucionales, académicos y comunitarios.
