Focus of this session will be the coalition building skills needed when
governmental departments, community organizations and other stakeholders
join forces to deal with difficult community issues. A special emphasis
will be given to community involvement, goal setting, resource development,
leadership development, and public awareness campaigns.
This workshop focuses on promoting family development within or in collaboration
with school systems. The presenter looks specifically at the promotion
of educational and social goals from a solution-focused model.
The session will focus on strategies to enlist youth as active partners
in the development of community projects. Emphasis will be on techniques
that enhance collaboration and partnership between youth, schools, colleges/universities,
community organizations, and law enforcement agencies.
This training is designed for community-based and faith-based organizations
that are interested in collaborating for the benefit of families. The
goal of healthy families for both groups are the same, however, their
motivations and methods are very different. For these joint initiatives
to be successful, they need to understand each other's histories and community,
and to appreciate the strengths that both groups bring. This workshop
will look at how three such ventures have served their communities together
for over two decades.
Collaborating to Survive and to Thrive

education efforts. Participants will be given the basics of creating and
sustaining healthy and effective collaborations; share examples of their
