Community Readiness Matters: Building Foundations for Lasting Prevention Impact

Is your community ready for prevention initiatives built on a foundation of readiness? Join us for a dynamic two-hour webinar on community readiness assessment for prevention, designed specifically for coalition leaders and prevention professionals committed to creating lasting change. You’ll explore the Tri-Ethnic Community Readiness Model – a framework that takes the guesswork out of gauging your community’s readiness to address critical prevention issues.

This webinar is about practical application, not just theory. We’ll bring the excitement, and you’ll leave equipped with the knowledge of the value of community readiness assessment and the process for conducting assessments of readiness in your Ohio community. We’ll take you through the complete journey: the why behind Community Readiness Assessment (CRA), the how of implementation, and the crucial ā€œwhat nowā€ steps that turn insights into action. Through interactive content and activities, you’ll develop and learn how to enhance local readiness levels and address prevention readiness needs with confidence.

What you’ll gain:

  • Understanding of key CRA concepts and the stages of community readiness
  • Clear, compelling language to convey the importance of readiness assessment to stakeholders
  • Familiarity with how to conduct readiness assessments in communities small and large, urban or rural
  • Understanding of how to make sense of CRA data and translate findings into targeted prevention strategies
  • Tactics for targeted approaches to increase community readiness levels

Join Prevention Action Alliance and Prevention Insights at the Indiana University School of Public Health for this primer webinar focused on prevention readiness and the role it plays in Ohio communities! Register today to transform assessment into action and further your prevention success.Ā
