On Tuesday, November 17th, Cindy McElhinney hosted a conference call for all Prevent Now! Workshop participants. Thank you to everyone who was able to join us! For any participants who could not call in, we hope you can join us next month. Our next call is Tuesday, December 15, 2009 at 2 pm EST.
There were many success stories shared on the call. Many Prevent Now! participants are making fantastic progress in their communities, holding Community Awareness meetings, scheduling Stewards of Children trainings and approaching new organizations. Gaining this momentum can be tricky, but patience is key!
Almost everyone has experienced the frustration that their community simply does not "get it" initially. Intentions do not always match actions. There are ways to get around this problem, and many of these solutions were also discussed on the conference call.
If you are interested in networking with fellow Prevent Now! participants, join our Stewards of Children Facebook group and add to the Prevent Now! discussion.
