Environmental Strategies Publication Strikes a Chord

CADCA's National Coalition Institute released the first in a new series of publications, Beyond the Basics, last week and the response has been overwhelming. The Coalition Impact: Environmental Prevention Strategies resonates with community anti-drug coalitions because it addresses the day-to-day work of trying to create safer and healthier communities.

Since the publication launched on the Institute's Web site on April 8, hundreds of coalitions have visited the Institute's environmental strategies page and dozens have ordered multiple print copies. We're feeling a bit like Sally Field when she picked up her Academy Award a number of years ago and declared "You like me..."

Of course, with the Institute, we know that you like our work--and that's a tremendous compliment because we work continuously to develop innovative training curricula and resources that help community anti-drug coalitions build safer and healthier communities. Whether training on the basics of core competencies or disseminating topic-specific publications, we strive to provide comprehensive information that coalitions can apply in their individual communities.

Please let us know what you think of the new publication and what your coalition is doing to create population-level change in your community. By sharing your stories, you help us help other coalitions.
