https://padlet.com/erinolson4/jii6ta8i24sx6zez In Module 2 you were able to identify actions that can be taken at each level of the Spectrum of Prevention to promote healthy choices. Please share and provide examples of what level(s) you feel that you do really well? What is one level you would like focus on in the future? en-us 2020-11-17 16:06:28 UTC 2021-02-11 22:28:32 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f331.png kdurant3 https://padlet.com/erinolson4/jii6ta8i24sx6zez/wish/1122536399 I feel that I do a fine job with strengthening individual knowledge & skills. Some examples include participating in the systems approaches course, and signing up for numerous webinar events. I would like to focus on educating providers and promoting community education. ]]> 2021-01-25 15:46:55 UTC https://padlet.com/erinolson4/jii6ta8i24sx6zez/wish/1122536399 sgtbluffparksandrec https://padlet.com/erinolson4/jii6ta8i24sx6zez/wish/1124189454 I feel we are strong with the Promoting Community Education. I feel we have a lot of community connections and are involved in many areas where we can reach our community members through emails, social media and programming. 

We maybe lack in the Educating Providers aspect but could be better if we worked on fostering coalitions and networks. Work with a provider who can do the education piece while we offer our services to promote it to the community. ]]> 2021-01-25 20:59:08 UTC https://padlet.com/erinolson4/jii6ta8i24sx6zez/wish/1124189454 candacejdaniels https://padlet.com/erinolson4/jii6ta8i24sx6zez/wish/1124441083 Working directly with public health, I worry that the pandemic has been a distraction to even more of the good things that we have done.  For example...we are not currently doing car seat checks.  
Ideas that popped into my head during this module for opportunities: coordinate park or river clean up days,  being even more intentional in serving hispanic populations...do we understand the cultural barriers or do we assume know?
The example of the soda in schools we've done a lot with so I'm comfortable where we are there...but intentional placement of food in our food pantries...not so much.
Finally...do we work hard enough to educate people on hurdles to getting their preventive health checkups...aka are they aware that it most likely is 100% covered?

But Educating Providers and Fostering Coalitions & Networks can be more challenging as they require identifying stakeholders/players who should be involved and who are willing to be involved in the particular health initiative. But to have a more widespread effect, these two should be focused on moving forward. ]]> 2021-01-25 23:42:49 UTC https://padlet.com/erinolson4/jii6ta8i24sx6zez/wish/1124540008 https://padlet.com/erinolson4/jii6ta8i24sx6zez/wish/1142761818 My organization does a lot of work "on the ground" and often has classes to educate individuals and the community in general.  In my involvement elsewhere in my community, I think I also do fairly well at fostering coalitions and networks.  Being in a small town, I feel this is more easily done than when I was living in a large city.  

I would like to focus more on the changing organization practices. It is often the case that other layers are in place, but then people are faced with barriers to changes due to the practices in the area. ]]> 2021-01-29 23:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/erinolson4/jii6ta8i24sx6zez/wish/1142761818 https://padlet.com/erinolson4/jii6ta8i24sx6zez/wish/1144285947 I lead a youth non-profit and we are strongest in educating youth and staff as well as implementing organizational policies that promote healthy environments and systems when students are in one of our programs. We certainly can improve on community education and building stronger coalitions around health in our community.]]> 2021-01-30 23:18:53 UTC https://padlet.com/erinolson4/jii6ta8i24sx6zez/wish/1144285947 https://padlet.com/erinolson4/jii6ta8i24sx6zez/wish/1184776279 Living in a small community, I feel like community education is something that we do well. We have a small newspaper that is always happy to run articles about things going on in town, like the 5-2-1-0 program. I think the harder part for us is getting people to participate in those events or help out with programs that we might offer. Many people in town are happy that we offer programs or events like a community walk, but they don't always participate or make changes in their lifestyle.]]> 2021-02-09 21:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/erinolson4/jii6ta8i24sx6zez/wish/1184776279
