Px21 (a group of Erie County substance-abuse prevention and mental health providers, formerly called Px20), in partnership with the Center for Health and Social Research (CHSR), will sponsor “Community, Coalitions, and Connections: WNY Working Together” from 9:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Tuesday, July 29, in Bulger Communication Center.

Nationally renowned experts from Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA) will conduct the training. The goals are to build capacity, increase effectiveness, help local coalitions and community groups work more effectively on their goals, and realize the benefits of working together. The training will help align various methods of community work, and participants will learn the principles of the strategic prevention framework. While the training has some orientation toward substance-abuse prevention, the principles at the heart of the training have broad applicability to coalition work aimed at healthier communities in general.

The fee for this training is $10 to help cover the cost of food (breakfast and lunch for all participants) and training materials. Please note: no-cost scholarships are available on request.

Please call CHSR at ext. 6137 with any questions or for registration details.
