Consultation Support

This free workshop is designed to teach health researchers and engaged health research partnerships how to best engage community media when communicating and sharing their findings (also open to community stakeholders and communications staff at health research institutions).

This workshop is a collaboration between Public Narrative, a Chicago nonprofit dedicated to cultivating narrative change and community-oriented journalism, and the Alliance for Research in Chicagoland Communities (ARCC) at Northwestern University. It is co-presented by the Chicago Consortium for Community Engagement (C3) and the Chicago Community, Media & Research Partnership (CCMRP), creator of the Framework for Making Research More Accessible Through Community Media.

One way that the Center for Community Health (CCH) is helping translate research findings into practice more quickly is through Stakeholder-Academic Resource Panels (ShARPs)

This session aims to create a safe space for community partners working in and for communities during a time that has been underscored by the COVID-19 pandemic and social reckoning of systematic racial injustice in the US. Acknowledgment of the personal and professional dynamics that come to bear as community-based partners will ground the discussion, because "when we are supported, we do better work and help more people".

Co-presenters Tamara Sutton, Chicago Youth Programs and Daniel Mendez, Puerto Rican Cultural Center, along with Ariel Thomas Sansing, Alliance for Research in Chicagoland Communities will guide a conversation filled with testimonials and reflections on how community-centered work has pivoted during a time of increased virtual engagement and creative problem-solving.
