What does it mean to be a Prevention Leader w/Dena Kemp. [#33]

Today, we’re talking about community engagement, facilitation, and what it means to be a prevention leader with Dena Kemp, who is a Southeast Kansas Community Support Specialist.

Dena is also an alumni of the HueLife Prevention Leaders Cohort. 

This Hue Journey is an intensive skill-building experience. The program will significantly improve facilitative leadership capabilities in the context of coalition work, develop facilitation methods, and provide a fun learning environment. Participants will be part of a learning community and support system lasting long beyond the five cohort intensives.

Angie Asa-Lovstad, Karie Terhark, and Dave Closson, your guides on this Journey, have over 38-years of combined experience leading community coalitions in the drug and alcohol prevention scope. Together they have also led state-wide collaboration using tools that will be taught in the Prevention Leaders Cohort to ensure coalition members are included in every step of the process, organically creating buy-in and sustainability.

HUE Prevention Leaders Cohort is a 15-month commitment. We meet two times each month (or 6 times per quarter) via Zoom.

Create a shared vision with stakeholders and collectively develop long-term and short-term goals.
Empower your stakeholders to carry out the plan that keeps people engaged to follow through.
Establish an evaluation practice with accountability within the teams to be responsive to a changing environment.
Build confidence in leading groups of stakeholders and community members.
Develop self as a transformational leader and use data to create shared awareness around community issues.
Develop your team, empower coalition members, and leverage the personal passion of each member.
