Program Tools Program Tool 2: Community profile Getting to know your community It is useful, when beginning any community initiative, to become more familiar with your community. Even if you already know your community well, this exercise will help you to pull the information together so that it is available as a database from which your team can work. Completing this form may involve working through the phone book, making phone calls or talking to people you know. Gathering information about your community in this way will help you in several ways: 1) It will allow you to touch base with all of the organizations who provide services for seniors so that you can: a. Begin increasing awareness around falls prevention and assistive devices. b. Promote Tools for Living Well and find allies. c. Recruit volunteers for your Community Advisory Team and Program Volunteers if you plan on including these in your program. d. Confirm the services and programs that they are running so that you can establish partnerships and collaborate. 2) It will give you a data base of information from which you can: a. Plan your approach to community organizations. b. Plan your strategy in approaching businesses. 3) It will provide you with information that you will need to tailor the program to your community. 4) If done in collaboration with your team, it can be a good way to begin the process of working together. In order to organize information that will help you in your program, consider: WHO ARE THE PEOPLE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD? As a starting point, please consider: ● Are there Fall Prevention Programs that you can link with? ● Can you identify sources of Program Volunteers (if you choose to use volunteers)? ● What senior service clubs or faith communities might you partner with? ● Are there current events that might be opportunities for you to present your program? ● Are there key media people that might be interested in this program? ● What businesses might be interested? ● What are some of the characteristics of your community that will help you when approaching businesses? Section A: Community contacts Making contact with community groups will help you to: ● increase your community’s awareness of falls prevention and the role of assistive devices; Tools for Living Well 99
