SLIDES RECORDING
The CTC process is a powerful and audacious framework that requires creative ways to recruit diverse community members and other important stakeholders; recruitment is an ongoing element in the work of Communities That Care. Once we have folks recruited and committed, it’s important for us to work on ways to retain their involvement in meaningful ways. We welcome you to learn from some of the great work being done in the state of Montana with a focus and highlight of both successful recruitment and retention in the work of community mobilization in prevention science.
Brainstorm session around recruitment and opportunity to share and discuss successes or struggles within your communities.
