Competencies in Focus: Implementation

Coalitions are often tasked with turning evidence-based strategies into real-world action, but implementation can look very different across communities depending on local capacity, partnerships, and needs.

In this webinar, attendees will explore practical approaches for implementing substance use prevention and overdose response initiatives through coalition-based efforts. You’ll learn strategies for building partnerships, engaging stakeholders, and adapting implementation efforts to local needs. The session will also feature real-world examples from Missouri’s DOTS and MO-CORPS initiatives and Washington State’s LakeSafe Initiative.

This webinar is part of CADCA’s Competencies in Focus webinar series that explores the competencies that strengthen coalition effectiveness. In this installment, we’re taking a closer look at the Implementation competency.
