Facilitated eight “communities of practice”

Communities of practice bring together organizations working on similar issues to learn from and provide feedback to each other. Prevention Institute facilitated eight communities of practice that brought together groups working across diverse geographies, communities, and identities to develop effective strategies and inform policy and systems change. These communities of practice focus on issues such as healthy and equitable land use, violence prevention, mental health and wellbeing, and others. Our work with them has reinforced our understanding of the importance of community members taking the lead in transforming their neighborhoods. * The communities of practice are supported by Movember, Blue Shield of California Foundation, Hogg Foundation for Mental Health, St. Joseph Health Community Partnership Fund, the Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation, The California Endowment, CDC, and the BUILD Health Funding Collaborative.
