SHIP 6 Brainstorm for Communications Phase 2 by

Plug and play

2024-05-17 15:18:01 UTC

"Plug and play" communications tools. Plug in our info and post/share. Rural SHIP Public health doesn't have a large communications team, so communication gets the back burner. Easy to use templates, toolkits, etc. I have loved the MDH suicide prevention toolkit where they give you suggested posts etc you just have to customize for your SHIP/PH

2024-05-17 15:18:53 UTC

Enhance coordination mechanisms and strengthen communications and outreach plans and strategies that are informed by data collected through community feedback mechanisms

2024-05-17 15:23:04 UTC

Focusing in on key audiences as stories and content is developed, like community members/decision makers, elected officials, others. Plain language and inclusive language is important for these audiences!

Multi-Media Platforms

2024-05-17 15:23:27 UTC

The ability to promote SHIP and SHIP projects in all forms of multi-media, including mass communications.

Webinars and Ongoing TA

2024-05-17 15:24:33 UTC

In the past years, MDH has hosted the "Nuts and Bolts" communication series, that was a nice opportunity to learn and share.

2024-05-17 15:24:38 UTC

Up to date PPT on different topic areas within contexts we can take and edit for presentations. E.g. Tobacco Prevention, SuperShelf, SHIP 101 for new partners, topics for Worksite wellness collaboratives

2024-05-17 15:24:59 UTC

Strengthen capacity (trainings, tools, and resources) and enhance coordination mechanisms to develop, tailor, and test messages in target audiences, including vulnerable and at-risk populations.

Legislative Report

Making certain data collected via RedCap is pulled together around "finding statements" that are not only a tally of who's doing what activity. We need to be able to say how SHIP has made an impact.

Local data

2024-05-17 15:26:06 UTC

Provide customizable tools where partners can feature their own local data, so communities can understand, make decisions, and take action.

Priority Populations and Impact

2024-05-17 15:26:13 UTC

SHIP has a long history of identifiying priority populations (i.e. BOPIC). When SHIP success stories or other updates are shared, who actually reads these updates other than legislatures? How can we reach the public more? How can we reach the priority populations more? How can we make them care about our work impact?

2024-05-17 15:26:28 UTC

Streamline process to share grant success stories and progress with the community to get SHIP out there more. Streamline process to collect feedback from partners when the projects are complete.

2024-05-17 15:27:12 UTC

Maybe some general copy about SHIP that is tailored for different audiences?

susanthurstonhamerski — 2024-05-17 15:27:35 UTC

How would/could that look...streamlined process?

Second the local data comment.

2024-05-17 15:27:38 UTC

Improved Communication Across the State

2024-05-17 15:27:45 UTC

What would it take to reach different newspapers-- of all sizes-- from across the state about local, regional, and statewide SHIP work?

susanthurstonhamerski — 2024-05-17 15:30:24 UTC

Don’t like to have communications action plans as I have my systems in place.
Communications plans are good for those that don’t have them in place. Maybe have an optional helpful template.

Local or Regional SHIP Websites

2024-05-17 15:30:42 UTC

Perhaps landing pages for local and regional SHIP grantees to use to promote their work, share project updates? Perhaps linking the Story Maps to agency or County websites?

susanthurstonhamerski — 2024-05-17 15:30:47 UTC

I like to have my pieces reviewed and approved to insure it’s not just my eyes looking at them.
Would like templates that can be edited for local use.

susanthurstonhamerski — 2024-05-17 15:31:05 UTC

Increased LPH funding to make supporting our partners more possible while also being able to keep up with the increased cost of everything.

Workshops

2024-05-17 15:32:59 UTC

Workshops on how to format different types of communications. E.g. Press Releases, Social Media, Radio

Then how to tailor it to specific audiences, how to have audiences take action, how to filter out jargon
