The Social Determinants of Health are large, multi-focal issues. These issues often have multiple stakeholders that can include patients, activists and policy makers. These scope of these issues makes them ripe for coalition work.
Coalitions bring together groups with like interests or agendas to pool resources, skills and contacts. Coalition members have overlapping interests around a core issue, though their individual focus may be unique within the group. When attempting to form a coalition it is important to understand those individual interests in order to best cultivate a working relationship among the group members. Understanding a stakeholders perspective, their previous work in a topical area, and their mission is essential to recruiting coalition members.
For this assignment you will identify an individual or group that would be a potential coalition partner for your team project on PEDIATRIC MENTAL HEALTH.
What to do:
1. Identify a group or agency working in pediatric mental health.
2. Describe the group
– What do they do point to any in-process or completed projects.
– What is their focus/mission?
– How are they funded?
– This information is often available on the official website.
Is there a benefit to collaborating with them? If so, what is the benefit, and what would that collaboration look like? If there does not seem to be a benefit, explain why and how you would avoid repeating their work in your team project.
Pro tip: Be sure to include the groups website in your reference list!
