Today, we’re talking about community engagement, facilitation, and what it means to be a prevention leader with Dena Kemp, who is a Southeast Kansas Community Support Specialist.
Dena is also an alumni of the HueLife Prevention Leaders Cohort.
This Hue Journey is an intensive skill-building experience. The program will significantly improve facilitative leadership capabilities in the context of coalition work, develop facilitation methods, and provide a fun learning environment. Participants will be part of a learning community and support system lasting long beyond the five cohort intensives.
Angie Asa-Lovstad, Karie Terhark, and Dave Closson, your guides on this Journey, have over 38-years of combined experience leading community coalitions in the drug and alcohol prevention scope. Together they have also led state-wide collaboration using tools that will be taught in the Prevention Leaders Cohort to ensure coalition members are included in every step of the process, organically creating buy-in and sustainability.
HUE Prevention Leaders Cohort is a 15-month commitment. We meet two times each month (or 6 times per quarter) via Zoom.
Prevention Leadership Means:* Create a shared vision with stakeholders and collectively develop long-term and short-term goals. * Empower your stakeholders to carry out the plan that keeps people engaged to follow through. * Establish an evaluation practice with accountability within the teams to be responsive to a changing environment. * Build confidence in leading groups of stakeholders and community members. * Develop self as a transformational leader and use data to create shared awareness around community issues. * Develop your team, empower coalition members, and leverage the personal passion of each member.
