Healthy Communities Toolkit Part 1 & 2

The Washington State Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity Prevention Program recently launched the new web-based Healthy Communities Tool Kit Part 2: Implementing and Evaluating Success. This tool kit is designed for public health practitioners, policy makers, and community partners.

The Healthy Communities Tool Kit offers key lessons and resources used in Washington State communities as they mobilized their residents to make policy and environmental changes that make it easier for people to be physically active and choose healthy foods. This tool kit is divided into six chapters:

        1 Implementing Your Action Plan
        2. Engaging Your Community & New Partners
        3. Collaborative Leadership
        4. Best Practices: Policy & Environmental Change
        5. Sustaining the Work
        6. Evaluating Success
