In my previous role, I led the development of a comprehensive prevention program targeting substance abuse among teenagers. I collaborated with stakeholders, including schools and community organizations, to design workshops and educational materials. The program was evaluated through surveys and feedback sessions, showing a 20% increase in awareness and a 15% reduction in risky behaviors. This experience honed my skills in strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, and program evaluation.

I prioritize interactive and participatory methods to keep training sessions engaging. For example, I incorporate role-playing, group discussions, and multimedia presentations. I also conduct pre-training surveys to understand the audience's needs and tailor the content accordingly. Post-training evaluations help me measure effectiveness and make necessary adjustments. This approach ensures that participants not only retain information but also feel motivated to apply it in real-world scenarios.

I employ a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods to assess program impact. This includes pre- and post-program surveys, focus groups, and behavioral tracking. For instance, I use statistical analysis to compare behavioral changes before and after the intervention. Additionally, I gather feedback from participants and stakeholders to understand the program's perceived effectiveness. These strategies provide a comprehensive view of the program's success and areas for improvement.

I address resistance by fostering an open and inclusive environment where participants feel comfortable expressing their concerns. I start with a brief icebreaker to build rapport and encourage participation. During the session, I actively listen to feedback and address doubts with evidence-based information and real-life examples. If skepticism persists, I acknowledge the validity of their concerns and offer to discuss them further after the session. This approach helps to mitigate resistance and foster a more positive learning experience.

In my last position, I collaborated with a local community center to develop a series of workshops on mental health awareness. We co-designed the curriculum, combining their expertise in community engagement with my training and prevention knowledge. The workshops were well-received, with over 80% of participants reporting increased awareness and willingness to seek help. This collaboration not only enhanced the program's reach but also strengthened our relationship with the community, leading to ongoing partnerships.
