Communities Organizing for Power Through Empathy: Intervention and Research as Organizing Tool

Friday, October 25, 2024
10:30 AM – 11:00 AM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Room 2504A
We conducted a CBPR multiphase mixed-methods study to examine the efficacy of COPE, a brief group mental health intervention. Partnering with a broad-based organization we designed a delivery model aligned with a community organizing strategy. Utilizing a CBPR approach that integrates community organizing allows further democratization of the research process.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Assess the Dynamic Adaptation Process to develop the COPE intervention.
  2. Discuss the intersections of CBPR research and community organizing, in particular identifying elements of delivery and implementation that enhance recruitment and retention.
  3. Evaluate how participation in community organizing may support CBPR.
