What is the purpose of the Community Based Process strategy?

The purpose of the Community Based Process strategy is to enhance community delivery of prevention services. This approach emphasizes collaboration within the community, enabling various stakeholders, including agencies, organizations, and individuals, to work together toward common prevention goals. By strengthening the connections within the community, this strategy can effectively leverage local resources, knowledge, and support systems, which ultimately leads to a more robust and comprehensive delivery of prevention services. It fosters an inclusive environment where community members are actively involved in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of prevention strategies, increasing the effectiveness and sustainability of interventions aimed at reducing substance abuse and promoting overall health. This cooperative model is essential for building capacity, increasing awareness, and mobilizing community resources effectively.
