Panhandle Partenership for Health and Human Services

Kim Engel, Panhandle Public Health District Director

The Panhandle Partnership for Health and Human Services trained 90 of its members in Group Facilitation Methods in 2006. ToP® training has generated a myriad of new documented community conversations and opportunities for participation.

Kim Engel, Panhandle Public Health District Director, reports how PPHHS is weaving ToP® methods into a powerful web of support for and trust in an authentic culture of collaboration…

“Since experiencing the ToP® training, participants state that they now are better equipped to not only facilitate but also participate in planning sessions. The skills learned have increased awareness of the importance of a productive process and have raised the expectations for results.

There are already plans in place to have another training soon. There are many out there who would like the basic training and several who are ready to go to the next level!”
