Shared Risk & Protective Factors Conference

Creating a culture of health requires people from all walks of life to work together. We know partnering with community members and diverse sectors such as transportation, housing, community development, business, education, public health and healthcare helps create communities where everyone can be healthy. But working together is hard and sometimes messy.
In this session, we will examine what successful collaborations look like as well as potential pitfalls and warning signs. Come with a partnership in mind that you want to develop or strengthen. We’ll use this interactive and engaging training to explore practical tools and resources from County Health Rankings & Roadmaps. You’ll leave the session with new ideas to apply to current or future partnerships. County Health Rankings & Roadmaps is a collaboration between the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. By the end of this session, participants will be able to: 1) Define characteristics of successful collaborations; 2) Identify potential pitfalls to avoid with collaborations; 3) Use practical tools and resources from County Health Rankings & Roadmaps in collaborative efforts; and 4) Apply session learnings to strengthen current or future collaborations
