How Frameworks Can Transform Your Coalition Work (and Your Culture)

from Prevention Leaders w/ Dave Closson Hosted by Dave Closson

When it comes to prevention, it’s easy to get lost in the deliverables — checking boxes, meeting grant requirements, and rushing to get things done. But the coalitions that thrive are the ones with a clear identity, a shared purpose, and a framework guiding every decision they make. In this episode of the Prevention Leaders Podcast, I sit down with Stephanie Patton, a coalition coordinator and prevention leader from Massachusetts, who has spent years integrating the Science of the Positive into her coalition’s work. Together, we talk about: Why frameworks like Science of the Positive and the Strategic Prevention Framework are more than just compliance tools How to make frameworks visible in everyday work (including a powerful tip about what to put on the back of every agenda!) Simple ways to build trust and relationships that fuel buy-in and sustainability How coalition coordinators can embrace facilitative leadership to share the workload and avoid burnout 🎧 Listen now and get inspired to make your coalition meetings, strategies, and partnerships more intentional and impactful.
