Would any of your staff be willing to facilitate a presentation virtually on sustainability planning for community-wide initiatives? If so, what is the cost for this? This would be a session lasting 1 hour to 1.5 hours.

Hello!
I am currently in my junior year of college and in my Intro. to social work and small groups class we have been asked to find a problem/issue that has been improved by using a proactive intervention that has been done and proven in the past. Our group has decided to do an intervention about people living a secret life and that are preparing to reveal their secret life to their family and friends. I am having trouble finding a small group intervention in regards to this matter. Maybe I am not using the appropriate wording in my search, but if you could help in any way with information in regards to this matter please help.
Thanks!

I understand you’re adapting this Community Tool Box(CTB) to the Portuguese language, as well.
When do you think this Portuguese version would be available?
(I sent to the Work Group for Community Health and Development a more detailed email, but it went to your spam)

Hi,
I am an ASU student in Phoenix area, working on my Doctorate of Nurse Practitioner (DNP) and I am wanting to do a project that will help people change their Lifestyle. With an increase in diseases that are lifestyle related, such as obesity, heart disease and diabetes, it would be fantastic for providers in primary care to have community program to help with this increasingly worrisome problem. If providers could send their patients for education and support, progress could be made in the community toward reducing the diseases caused by poor lifestyle habits. I would like to do something with diet as there is evidence to support eating 80 % whole plant based foods, but it is difficult to do. However with the right education and support it can be done. I am wondering if there are others in the Phoenix area interested in working on an initiative to help people with lifestyle changes. I may be asking the wrong person, but I thought it could be a start and / or you could direct me in the right direction.
Thanks!

I am representing a non - profit summer recreational club that has been in existence for ore than 65 years. The club consists of an aging membership, that through the years has lost an ever increasing number of members. Our difficulties are compounded by the fact that there is a competing organization that offers a lake and beach experience, whereas our recreational facility offers a heated pool experience. Our membership fees are $325 per member, as compared to $150 for lake and boating experiences. Our organization needs to increase membership, or in the near future, cease to exist. What strategies should we be examining to reverse our position?

Good Evening. I am in the process of forming a non profit to help families become more aware of the local resources. The families would go on our website and complete the needs assessment and then we would then link the up with that resource. My question. what would are strategic plan be to make sure that this service is effective. We have about 5 board members. what should are turn around be when the individual contacts us. i just needs some guidance. there is a service that is available for the community but the hold time is extremely long and the information is not always accurate. We dont want to duplicate those type of services or complaints. Please advise

I am a First-Year in the School of Business. When applying last fall I listed that my intended major as Business Marketing. I would like to change that to finance. I am also interested in a second degree in German. What do I need to do to make that happen?

My aim is to complete school in four years. I am currently enrolled in a course called First Year Business Experience. It was my understanding while enrolling that it was necessary that I take this course. Is this true? If not, is there another course that would put me on a faster track to get my degree?

Thank you very much
