Episode 4 - Line Logic

8/12/2026

0 Comments

 
We need a clear map of what the problem is, why it's the problem, what's driving it in our community, and how we're going to solve it. In our experience, the highest functioning coalitions are the ones that have a really good logic model, so we're starting with an open discussion about what they are, and why they are so necessary. Today, Logan Reid and Heidi Dutson have invited the man himself, David Watkins, to help them! (And to talk about puppies!)

Episode 3 - CCEBP

As preventionists, we often want to follow our gut, and take the responsibility of saving the world upon our shoulders, alone. But community-level problems require community-level solutions. And to be most effective, they need to be data driven and evidence-based. Join Heidi Dutson, Logan Reid, and Special Guest Rob Timmerman as they discuss their favorite acronym: CCEBP​

Episode 2 - Primary Prevention

The paradox: We're improving access to care and increasing treatment services, but the needs continue to rise. Until we address the structural roots of risk at the community level, we're not going to solve our substance use and mental illness problems. Logan Reid and Heidi Dutson discuss why we need more Primary Prevention!

Episode 1 - Coalitions Are Important!

Why are coalitions important? We have some thoughts. This podcast is about what the science says, but also what our on-the-ground experience has shown us as we try to implement that science. Hosts Heidi Dutson and Logan Reid discuss why it takes a village, and what some of the most current research says about coalitions.
