Priorities
During the second Healthy Community talking circle, the group identified two priorities it would like to focus its energies on. We took a little bit of time to expand on what these priorities might look like, and what some activities might be to help us move forward with pursuing them.
We also identified the need to brand this movement towards becoming a healthy community. An example of successful branding in the state was the Choose Respect initiative of the Governors. When discussing what we wanted to do as a group, someone stated, "take our community back from the drug dealers!", and so Reclaim Alaska was born.
