Improving Outcomes Framework Training
A Foundational Training to Improve Health and Safety Outcomes
The Improving Outcomes Framework
Addressing complex health issues like preventing substance misuse or improving traffic safety is challenging.
A strong framework can make all the difference.
The Improving Outcomes Framework combines public health, prevention science, and behavior change in a comprehensive, positive approach to help you improve health and safety in your organizations and communities.
This virtual training brings together three critical components:
- Mindsets: The foundation. This is where true transformation begins. We work with you to uncover and cultivate the guiding principles and perspectives that guide how to approach your work.
- Process: The roadmap. A clear, repeatable series of steps is the roadmap for achieving outcomes. Once mindsets are aligned, we’ll give you a clear, actionable process that outlines the “how-to” for what to do next.
- Skills: The tools. With clear mindsets and a process in place, the final component is the practical skills to help you create a culture where new ideas and actions emerge and take root.
