Bring your community threads together through our CAPE process.
Our CAPE process includes four key phases - Community collaboration, Action planning, Participatory evaluation, and Effective storytelling.
Through our CAPE process, we help you…
-
We strive to listen carefully to and meaningfully collaborate with those who live, work, and play in the communities we serve. We work to better understand individual and community level assets and relationships through one-on-one conversations, participating in community events and discussions, interviewing key community stakeholders, conducting surveys and focus groups, and more.
-
Sometimes it’s unclear where to begin, what to do, or how to do it. Our community action planning process and participatory meeting facilitation strategies can be tailored to your coalition/group and your goals. We help you develop a plan that reflects the voices of community and coalition members and charts a clear path to taking concrete action and achieving meaningful and measurable impact.
-
Our approach to monitoring and evaluation is participatory and oriented towards continuous quality improvement. Work with us to discover what’s working, what’s not, and how to maximize your impact. We center the perspectives and experiences of community and coalition members, integrate quantitative and qualitative data, and use visual syntheses of evaluation data to engage in community-wide sensemaking and learning.
-
Effectively sharing what we know, do, and learn is essential to community health improvement. We elevate the voices of community and coalition members and synthesize your experiences and learnings in ways that resonate with community members, policymakers, funders, and other key audiences. From captivating presentation decks to compelling reports, powerful policy briefs to provoking academic articles, bite-sized blog posts to attention-grabbing social media posts, we help you tell your story in ways that are tailored to your needs and to the audiences you seek to reach.
PoP Health offers CAPE capacity building packages for community health coalitions/collaboratives and those that work with them. We go beyond what’s available elsewhere in terms of trainings, professional development, and conferences for coalitions by checking all these boxes at once:
We are focused specifically on community health coalitions;
Our packages are designed to walk you through the action planning process that forms the foundation for all your work;
We provide the tools and coaching you need to successfully do this;
Everything we share is informed by our depth and breadth of public health training;
Our approach is tried-and-tested, informed by our on-the-ground experience with dozens of community coalitions.
What do our CAPE capacity building packages mean for you? Imagine this:
Instead of trying to piecemeal an action planning process together and make it make sense, you can participate in a TRAINING WORKSHOP that’s informed by over a decade of work with dozens of coalitions and coalition partners, giving you clear direction and a menu of options that’s customized to your coalition’s needs.
Instead of recreating the wheel, you can tap into tried-and-tested TOOLS AND TEMPLATES that help you and your coalition move through the action planning process – we’ve compiled them, adapted them, and created ones when we couldn’t find existing ones that did the trick. You’ll have brainstorming tools and spreadsheets, prioritization survey templates, draft meeting agendas, survey and focus group guide tools, action plan templates, and more, all at your fingertips.
Instead of stumbling through challenges alone, you’ll receive ongoing TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND COACHING – we’ll be there with you every step of the way, answering questions, working through thorny problems or unexpected setbacks, helping you adapt things to your coalition and your community context.
