Community Engagement Strategies: Meet Them Where They Are
Hosted by Great Lakes PTTC
Join Great Lakes PTTC for this 90-minute webinar on effective community engagement strategies that help prevention professionals connect with people where they already are. Rather than relying solely on traditional outreach methods, participants will explore real-world approaches that engage communities through everyday spaces, local events, shared experiences, and culturally relevant touchpoints. Drawing from prevention efforts across multiple communities, this session will provide practical, actionable strategies to increase engagement, strengthen partnerships, and create meaningful impact.
Learning Objectives:
- Rethink why even well-planned prevention events struggle to create engagement in today’s environment.
- Leave with practical, ready-to-use community engagement strategies to expand your reach, connect with harder-to-engage populations, and make your efforts count.
- Learn how to shift your approach to meet people where they already are, in everyday spaces, routines, and community touchpoints.
