Advancing Community Prevention Efforts in an Era of Scientific Distrust

 

Webinar Description

Advancing your coalition’s prevention efforts through this era of widespread scientific distrust can feel maddening! How do you respond when decision-makers insist that up is down and left is right? Together, we’ll explore strategies for determining your community’s readiness to engage with data and prevention messaging, and also consider techniques that will help to break down resistance to your work!  Our time together will focus on colleagues helping colleagues, so bring your voice and your wisdom!  

 

Webinar Objectives

  • Learn to assess your community’s readiness for prevention messaging and strategies
  • Consider evidence-based techniques and approaches for communicating through distrust of science
  • Avoid counterproductive messaging and make your case for evidence-based practice.
