Participate in Social/Educational Events...

By working together, individuals and organizations can provide the community with crucial social venues. Much research has indicated that the first initiative in improving a community is to enhance social opportunities for people (Tomison 1999). Hence the design of the Promoting Community Assets (PCA) campaign as a framework for community leaders to come together and promote wellbeing and resiliency.

PCA is the identification and communication of the key assets in a geographic area to increase knowledge of resources, educate residents about balance and wellbeing, promote a positive community self-image, and establish sustainable community education and celebration events.

Use the Calendar of Events to search for training, educational/social events, celebrations, and team meetings. Likewise, if you are hosting an event or training session, use the calendar to promote your activities and to register participants.
