Overview
This session provides participants with community mapping skills to identify allies and build key partnerships to spur community change.

If you are looking to make a community-level impact, this session provides an organized process to build consensus and take action. While the crux of this session focuses on limiting the exposure to and influence of illicit drugs and substance abuse, the key skills are transferrable to other areas.
