Building Momentum for Creating Environmental Change

This 16-hour self-paced training event is a foundational, interactive session for those beginning their campus and community prevention efforts. This training is offered exclusively online and is open for a two-week period. Participants gain an understanding of the Center's environmental management framework and the basic concepts and skills necessary to develop a strategic plan to move their prevention efforts forward. By working with a detailed case study, participants learn about and practice applying the following:

• A process for problem analysis
• A strategic planning protocol
• Concepts of campus and community readiness for change
• Tools aimed at anticipating and managing resistance to change

The Center’s online training offers participating teams—composed of campus representatives and community leaders—the opportunity to increase their content knowledge and strategic planning and program development skills. Each team is encouraged to develop a unique action plan for its campus and surrounding community, aimed at reducing high-risk and illegal alcohol and other drug abuse and attendant consequences.

This training was offered April 5-16, 2010.
