Criminal justice: In many communities, the criminal justice and law enforcement systems are valuable partners for public health. The increasing recognition of violence as a public health issue, coupled with the longstanding concerns about substance abuse, provide points of common interest for the public health and criminal justice systems. Additionally, correctional health programs are a vehicle for the delivery of public health services, while community policing programs may provide a mechanism for further community engagement. Other possible participants might come from the local court system and sheriff’s office. Environmental organizations: While public health work is often prompted by environmental factors (e.g., asthma and lead poisoning), representation from environmental organizations is sometimes overlooked in participatory and collaborative public health initiatives. Appropriate representatives might be found in communitybased and non-governmental agencies, forest services, and fish and wildlife departments. Faith community: In many areas, the faith community can be a powerful force for broadly disseminating public health messages and engaging residents in healthy behaviors. In addition to neighborhood churches and synagogues, representatives of larger religious membership organizations might be included in the MAPP process. Business community: By providing employment and economic livelihood, businesses play a critical role in community health and well-being. Through employee wellness programs, worksite safety initiatives, and other activities, the business community contributes to the delivery of some essential public health services. The need for productive and healthy employees and reduced health care costs should provide the business community with incentive to participate. Philanthropy: Local foundations might participate on the MAPP Committee as supporters of public health services and programs. Through its participation, the philanthropic community becomes aware of the needs and preferred strategies identified through the process and also recognizes that efforts in the community are being coordinated. The knowledge gained through the MAPP process may then be used to encourage subsequent grant-making efforts. Other Participants: Other organizations or sectors may also be appropriate for participation in the MAPP process. These might include policy and advocacy organizations and coalitions that focus on specific or broader public health issues. Consider representatives that, while not explicitly focused on public health, have the potential to contribute to the health of the community. These might include organizations concerned with issues such as job training, youth development, housing, community economic development, etc. Finally, consider inviting representatives from the media. These individuals may provide valuable advice and input throughout the process and may be helpful in disseminating information and engaging the community. 108
TIP SHEET 4 Engaging the Community Tip Sheet 4: ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY Principles and Guidelines for Community Engagement The following core principles and guidelines provide the basis for involving community residents in the MAPP process: ** Principles: • People should have a say in the decisions that affect their lives. • A public participation process, by definition, belongs to all the stakeholders, including future generations. Guidelines: • This process must provide participants with the information they need to participate in a meaningful way. • The public participation process should address the interests needs (time, venue, etc.) of the largest possible number of participants. • The public participation process should seek out and facilitate the involvement of all stakeholders. • The public participation process should communicate to all stakeholders how input affects the decisions made. ** Customized from the following reference: Public Participation and Accountability Subcommittee, National Environmental Justice Advisory Council. The Model Plan for Public Participation. Washington, DC: Nov 1996. TIP SHEET 4 109
