Topic Areas Identified – Webinar Survey Need Review – archives to be vetted
Facets Needed Need Review – archives to be vetted • Attendees want more: • Examples (best practices, ways, lists, tips and tricks, fresher ideas) • Tools to help them get buy-in (from staff, supervisors, community) • Communication tools, action plans • Hands on, practical, actionable learning • Encouragement • Reminders of what they learned, that they need to apply learning • Ways to rally staff around the learning • Short summary to share with other staff “Just taking the time as a staff to discuss what has been happening, how you are feeling, and letting off a bit of steam is very helpful. Getting together to watch/listen to the webinar was one of the first times we were able to sit down together in quite some time. We often don't have time to sit and just listen to each other.” -3 month follow-up survey
