Project Description
Community Decisionmaking is a decision-making process whereby the community takes responsibility for developing and implementing strategies to achieve better results for children, families and communities. Community decision-making is usually conducted through a partnership that brings together state government, private sector, local government, elected officials, and community members. CDM is a process that capitalizes on and mobilizes the community's strengths, formal resources, and informal supports to improve the quality of life in the community. Effective community decision-making processes appear to embrace all or most of several key characteristics.
What Are the Project's Main Activities?
Center staff members play a variety of roles in supporting the Community Decisionmaking (CDM), including:
- Publishing Papers About Community Decision-making
- Developing Capacity Building Tools
- Convening Training Institutes
- Providing Technical Assistance to Partners
- Improving Public Systems of Care

Interactive Community Decision-Making Learning Guides Suite
The Community Decision-Making Learning Guide Suite offers easy interactive access to the learning guides, including the ability to download portions of the guides, four convenient ways to search the learning guides, and the ability to customize capacity building materials for local use. The interactive suite allows users to download all or portions of the guides and to identify specific learning objectives for personal or group use.
