When communities mobilize to address substance abuse issues, a comprehensive plan is essential to overall success. Communities can include environmental strategies as a means to reduce substance abuse, particularly with issues related to accessibility and availability of alcohol to underage youth and illegal substances to the general population. This two-part series on environmental strategies starts from the beginning identifying what environmental strategies are and how to plan for them. The sessions also will offer mechanisms for practical application and more in-depth discovery of how community mobilization and policy change come into play for communities engaged in environmental strategies.

When coalitions are asked, "What is the most important element of the conference experience?" they often say, "the networking". With social networks coalitions can deepen and broaden their "neighborhood", be exposed to diverse ideas and solutions and make new acquaintances--virtually. This Webinar introduces social networking and how it supports coalitions in making face-to-face networking experience even richer!
This Webinar introduced content communities--people organizing themselves around an object in which they share an interest. The session included information about how content communities are a resource, a place to belong and a useful tool for coalition marketing, presentations and networking. The current most popular content communities coalesce around photos (Flickr) videos (YouTube) and online bookmarks (del.icio.us).
