Humphreys County Assets Community Coalitions for Change 2015
Community Coalitions for Change is a three year cooperative agreement grant funded by the Centers for Disease Control. The purpose of the project is to build on county-level networks and resources to conduct evidence-based intervention strategies. Specific strategies will improve physical activity and nutrition, reduce obesity and prevent and contact chronic disease. The grant has three primary strategies: Strategy 1: Provide Education and Promotional Support to Environmental Approaches Provide community-wide extension and outreach services to children and families to increase healthy behaviors such as consumption of healthy food and beverages. Engage with and support community coalitions that support healthy food and beverage consumption and physical activity to prevent obesity and support health Strategy 2: Implement evidence or practice-based strategies to increase consumption of healthy food and beverages as recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans Implement food service guidelines/nutrition standards where foods and beverages are available Increase access to and promote healthy food retail Strategy 3: Implement evidence or practice-based strategies to increase opportunities for physical activity Create or enhance, and promote access to safe places for physical activity Promote joint use agreements Implement and promote Safe Routes to School or other walk/bike to school programs Promote Complete Streets or other safe streets/community design initiatives Community Assets were compiled through the assistance of the UT/TSU Agents and Program Assistants, with input from the C3 Coalitions. This document contains a baseline of assets as of Spring 2015. We will complete a final asset map upon the completion of the grant. Prepared by Kathryn Burklund
