| Accomplishing your
organization's mission can be a complex task, involving a mix of
programming, community organizing, fundraising, public education
and, often, political persuasion. We can help you develop a “mission
strategy” -- a plan that is focused on results, not processes. We’ll
help you think about your mission in ways that you might not have
previously considered. We can then develop trainings and technical
assistance to help you carry out your mission
strategy.

Public
Policy
Throughout the country, communities are
seeking ways to improve public health through better policies.
These can focus on alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, or on issues
ranging from improved access to care to increased funding for social
services. While there are many sources of information available,
groups and coalitions often don’t have the training and experience
they need to create the change they'd like to see. We can help
develop policies, research best practices and model ordinances, help
develop a public awareness campaign, and prepare your group to be
advocates for their cause.
