Community Wise: An Innovative Multi-level Intervention to Reduce Alcohol and Illegal Drug Use

Prompted by thematic images, aims to help participants develop a deeper understanding of how marginalizing processes (e.g., systematic stigma; feelings of rage as victims of discrimination) impact participants' lives and behavior.

Designed to create collaborative efforts to overcome and dismantle marginalizing processes by building positive social and organizational relationships and community capacity through the development and implementation of community projects aiming to address social determinants of health.

Aims to increase self-efficacy and help participants develop a vision for their future, breaking this vision down into small, feasible, measureable goals they can implement on a weekly basis (e.g. quitting smoking, improving relationships with family members, paying down debt).
