Building A Healthier Community

Subtitled "What can we do to make and keep our community healthy, strong, and vibrant", this 4-session guide was developed as a collaboration between The Coalition for Healthier Cities and Communities and Everyday Democracy. The term “healthy community” can mean many things to many people: jobs, schools, clean water and air, basic health services, recreation, celebrations.

Although this guide is well-written, clear, and easy-to-understand, I gave it only 2 stars because it was never used very much. It was developed as a pilot (thus "draft" is still on the title page), but was never used as often as some of has had hoped by the "healthy communities" network that developed across the country in the late 1990s. However, it still has several segments that may be of use to other folks who are developing new guides.
