Community Engagement

What is Community Engagement?  “The process of working collaboratively with groups of people who are affiliated by geographic proximity, special interests or similar situations with respect to issues affecting their well- being.” From Principles of Community Engagement, CDC, 1997Principles of Community Engagement

Community Engagement “Community engagement refers to the process by which individuals and organizations build ongoing, permanent relationships for the purpose of applying a collective vision for the benefit of a community.” (Wikipedia)

Community Engagement Community engagement is an integral part of each level within the Spectrum of Prevention :

A fundamental practice of public health “The most effective way to achieve public health goals, especially toward the elimination of disparities in health status, is to actively engage those experiencing the problems in every aspect of addressing them.” Community Engagement

Partnership does not mean Engagement Community partnerships are relationships between partners for the purpose of a collective benefit. Community engagement builds “social capital” -- social ties, networks, and support -- which is associated with better community health and well-being.

Moving forward in Community Engagement  Determine the goals of the plan  Plan out who to engage  Develop strategies to engage those individuals you already know and strategies to engage those individuals you do not yet know  Prioritize activities  Create an implementation plan  Monitor progress  Maintain those relationships

Have the Conversation  Public Hearing  Influencing the Like-Minded  Top-Down  Building a Decision-Making Hierarchy  Goals / Strategic Plan  Public Relations  Community Conversation  Understanding Those Not Like-Minded  Bottom-Up  Establishing a Stakeholder Network  Values / Vision  Community Engagement Communication (Old Way) Engagement (New Way)
