Fort McHenry, birthday place of the U.S. National Anthem, the Star-Spangled Banner, sits at the mouth of one of Baltimore\u2019s main attractions, the Inner Harbor. Baltimore is also known as \u201cCharm City\u201d and is the home to more than 600,000 individuals.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The West Baltimore Get SMART Drug Free Coalition (DFC) resides in West Baltimore within the geographical areas of Sandtown-Winchester, Walbrook Junction and Lower Park Heights. The coalition serves African American youth and their families and enhances capacity building for community-based organizations within the identified areas. These organizations are committed to reducing racial and ethnic health disparities as well as the structural determinants of health that limit self-efficacy and create barriers to life and health opportunities. The coalition\u2019s overarching goal is a coordinated approach to building healthy communities through a culture of strategic collaborations.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bfQu\u00e9 problemas \u00fanicos enfrenta su coalici\u00f3n?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Get SMART DFC operates within three geographic areas that are also a part of what is known as Baltimore\u2019s Transformation Zones. Transformation Zones are geographic areas where States concentrate funding and technical assistance services to support strategic systems-level work. However, these are also high-crime areas where reports of homicides, nonfatal shootings, burglaries, car thefts, and gunfire are common. Additionally, these areas are considered to encompass high-risk areas, education inequality, concentrated poverty and poor housing opportunities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The unique issues that the Get SMART DFC faces are those common among neighborhoods with limited opportunities. These include high levels of unemployment, low-education readiness, public safety concerns, lack of adequate transportation, and food deserts. In addition, there are approximately 112 liquor outlets within the Get SMART catchment areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bfDe qu\u00e9 actividad o programa est\u00e1 m\u00e1s orgullosa su coalici\u00f3n y\/o qu\u00e9 actividad le gustar\u00eda que destaquemos?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur coalition is very proud of all the efforts made to delay, reduce, and eliminate alcohol and substance use among youth ages 12 \u2013 17,\u201d said the coalition\u2019s Project Director <strong>Dr. Lorece Edwards<\/strong>. \u201cHowever, we would like to shine the spotlight on our strategic collaboration with WombWork Productions, Inc which allows the coalition to use community-based theater (CBT) as a culturally appropriate environmental strategy. WombWork works within the local community to deliver programs that positively impact the attitudes, behaviors, and life choices of the youth. The programs encompass character development, peer mentoring, and professional training in acting, dancing, and vocals that allow youth to dramatize real-life issues and instill a desire to heal and share their stories and experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCommunity performances also serve to enrich the local neighborhoods through cultural programs incorporating elements of traditional African dancing, singing, and performing with contemporary elements of hip-hop, spoken word, and rap,\u201d said <strong>Edwards<\/strong>. \u201cPerformances tackle relevant social issues throughout the Baltimore community, including gun violence, domestic abuse, HIV, grief and loss, drug\/alcohol misuse, gang violence, sexual assault, social justice and racial equity. Community- based\u00a0theater\u00a0involving youth offers unique opportunities for personal growth, social connection, health promotion and advocacy efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bfC\u00f3mo llegaste all\u00ed y cu\u00e1les son tus resultados?
