Interconnected: A webinar series on the human-animal bond and its impact on public health and well-being.

Part 2: Tools for Change

How to Build a Successful and Sustainable Link Coalition

Presented by: Phil Arkow, Coordinator, the National Link Coalition & Amber Ahern, Founder/Director, the South Florida Link Coalition

DescriptionRenewed interest in how animal cruelty and neglect are frequently linked with domestic violence, child abuse, child sexual abuse, and elder abuse are prompting many communities to initiate multidisciplinary Link coalitions to reduce all forms of family violence. These coalitions build upon the synergy and cross-fertilization that occur when multiple perspectives and resources are utilized collaboratively to solve overarching civic problems. This webinar will review the advantages and challenges of organizing and sustaining a multidisciplinary coalition and lay out a 7-step process to success. We'll examine a highly successful coalition in Florida and give you ideas as to how you can make exciting things happen in your community.
