Engage Implementation Team Toolkit

Prevention and health promotion in higher education is a shared responsibility. 

Therefore, implementing Engage on your campus will be most effective when utilizing a team. The health and well-being concerns that are addressed in Engage (alcohol and other drug issues, issues of bias and discrimination, interpersonal violence, and mental well-being) are broad and diverse, and one individual (or one entity on campus) cannot deal with these problems alone. This toolkit developed by Partners in Prevention is meant to be a helpful guide as you work to build and maintain an implementation team for Engage. You can do these steps in or out of the order listed, and some steps will occur simultaneously. Use each step as a guide when you need it rather than as a checklist that must be done one after the other. Click here to download Engage Implementation Team Toolkit Overview.
