On-the-Spot Consultation Description and Objectives

During this On-the-Spot Session, participants will hear about system change efforts in Colorado focused on building equity into the work of substance misuse prevention at both the state and local levels. Participants will be introduced to a Community and Society-Level Strategies Menu developed with the goal of reducing risk factors and improving protective factors for adolescent substance misuse in Colorado. In addition, presenter Marc Morgan will share examples and lessons learned from working with coalitions to engage multiple sectors in environmental change strategies that build healthier, more equitable communities for everyone. Come with your questions related to this topic, as we will provide ample time for Q&A. 
 

By the end of the session participants will be able to:

  • Identify two lessons learned from Colorado's journey in building health equity 
  • Articulate how environmental strategies can be used to build healthier communities for everyone
