AUDIO
Engaging Diverse Communities
“[It’s important to help the community] understand that there’s a true issue at hand…and we can do something about it as a group, and it takes everyone in the community to move this forward.”
– Donna Dickman, Ohio Certified Prevention Specialist, Director of Development for Prevention Awareness Support Services
AUDIO
Coalition Structure
“We identified that the coalition could potentially set some more solid goals and activities for the years ahead, and therefore looked at the structure of the coalition and how we might be able to do this more effectively.”
AUDIO
From Awareness to Action
“When moving from awareness to action, always think about, how do we sustain this work? Is this something we can sustain? And is this something that will be beneficial for our community?”
– WyKisha McKinney, Senior Project Lead, Zero Suicide Institute, EDC
AUDIO
Designing for the Future
“Oftentimes these projects are brought on by grants. That’s wonderful, but those grants do expire. Who else can pick up that load when that money runs out?”
– Donna Dickman, Ohio Certified Prevention Specialist, Director of Development for Prevention Awareness Support Services
AUDIO
Sharing the Load
“The structure of the coalition prior to 2022 really put all of the work onto one individual. And that’s not sustainable. We can’t ask one person to do all of this work.”
– Anne Marie Snell, Executive Director, St. Lawrence County Health Initiative, Inc.
AUDIO
Partnering for Progress
“Mental health providers…become champions for your program, and offer that area of expertise that shows that your program is effective, and that it is helpful, and that it is something people should invest in.”
– WyKisha McKinney, Senior Project Lead, Zero Suicide Institute, EDC
