Policies and programs working together to create a change
Prevention at every level

3. Moving Prevention and Population Health to Center Stage How It Shapes Our Work
Prevention’s focus has been on health disparities, but now that it is required of others, it is a way for us to build capacity.
This change provides a pathway to discussions involving prevention at various aspects.
We may be able to collect more data from others to aid in our own efforts.

4. Cultural Humility Verses Cultural Competence; Do You Know Me
Cultural Humility Verses Cultural Competence; Do You Know Me? Overview and Impressions
“Actually, the most important part of culture…Is that which is hidden and internal, but which governs the behavior encounter.” ---Hall 1979.
What is the difference between Cultural Competence and Cultural Humility?
Cultural competency implies that one can function with a thorough knowledge of the morals and beliefs of another culture.
Cultural humility acknowledges that it is impossible to be adequately knowledgeable about cultures other than one’s own.

5. Cultural Humility Verses Cultural Competence; Do You Know Me
Cultural Humility Verses Cultural Competence; Do You Know Me? How It Shapes Our Work
Understanding cultural humility enhances our effectiveness in engaging the communities that we serve, because it is a lifelong process of self-reflection and self-critique.
Having cultural humility requires prevention staff to make a commitment to maintain active engagement with communities and its members.
We also have to go beyond the culture that we can see, and explore that which we cannot.

Utilize Focused Conversation to allow everyone to have a voice.
Engage members through reflection.

7. Active Collaboration Through Effective Conversations Diminishes Silos How It Shapes Our Work
In order to diminish silos, it’s important to utilize facilitated conversations and action planning.
Use the facilitated or focused conversations to help coalitions discover and explore topics or to address concerns regarding a strategy.
These techniques allow everyone to have a voice, and to remove the report out technique of a meeting.
By giving everyone an opportunity to express their thoughts, we are less likely to stay in our own silos.

Conduct Community Health Needs Assessment Every Three Years.

13. Community Benefit: A New Opportunity for Collaboration in Substance Misuse Prevention How It Shapes Our Work
In order to bridge the gaps in our services, and enable prevention to collaborate with public health and clinical systems, we need to be involved in the integrated processes.
This idea goes back to the breaking down the silos message and the importance of identifying health disparities from previous slides.
The recommendation is to develop a needs assessment every three years for focused collaboration, but it really should be looked at more frequently.

Relationship could be due to pattern of behavior of impulsive actions and stimulation.
Also, the role of parenting behaviors involving alcohol use is also identified as a determinant.

17. Bullying and Substance Use Among Adolescents How It Shapes Our Work
When looking at risk factors, we need to also look at the amount of caffeine consumed.
This link gives an idea of the different types of programs, practices, and strategies that should be considered.
