Gulf Coast Communities Case Study: Building Community Capacity in Times of Change

Join us to learn more about an interdisciplinary project involving biologists, psychologists, social scientists and community members working together to address the environmental, economic, and emotional health concerns of Gulf communities arising from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

This session will focus on the successes resulting from using a three-pronged approach to outreach. This approach was aimed at building community capacity through issues management, collaboration, and two-way communication. Participants will leave the session with a few practical steps they can take to implement aspects of this strategy in their own communities as extension professionals or community leaders.

Angela Lindsey, Project Manager of the Healthy Gulf, Healthy Communities will talk about her experience working with the Community Outreach & Dissemination Core.
