CALLING ALL SYSTEMS THINKERS!!! In 2024, the Center for Community Resilience expects to greatly expand the use of Systems Dynamic Modeling in public health leadership. We've noticed a huge gap in public health curriculum and training and are looking for partners who may be able to expand capacity in group model building and development of causal loop diagrams to guide change management in public health. Please DM me if this sounds like you or you have insight that could help us continue to expand access to innovative methods and increase capacity to help local public health leaders apply systems thinking to address chronic and complex social problems. To learn more about how we apply systems thinking to public health read the recent evaluation of our Resilience Catalysts in Public Health evaluation. https://lnkd.in/eCc8MSPw
