Join the conversation with Joel Hoepfner, long-time trainer and supporter of Michigan substance misuse prevention community groups and Ruth Schwendinger, program coordinator with Michigan's Prevention Network. In this episode, we talk about building systems on the Strategic Planning Framework which allows us to identify a more comprehensive and long-term approach to substance misuse prevention. In a grassroots approach, we are all living in a shared environment and are impacted by everything within the community. We are all impacted by this and coalitions can help individuals see how they are affected, and empower them to address community conditions. Sustainability is not about funds, it is about people.
