in motion Plan for Communities
The in motion national team can assist your community to get "in motion". Whether you plan to build upon, or develop your own logo (brand), or wish to adopt the existing in motion brand and strategy, we can provide you with options that will suit your needs.
In motion recognizes that not all communities have the same needs and may be at different stages of developing their own physical activity health promotion strategy. To account for this, in motion has developed 3 packages of Consultation.
Package 1 - Informational Consultation
Where do I start?
Our experience in working with communities is that the most difficult step is determining where to start. We suggest, as a first step, a one-day orientation in your community to which you have the option to bring together many potential stakeholders. A meeting could also be arranged with senior management should they not be able to attend the general orientation.
This orientation will provide a good overall understanding of the in motion process and allow for interested partners to ask questions. From experience it will build interest and assist you in getting commitment to this community-wide initiative.
A One Day Orientation to the in motion health promotion strategy. A member of the national in motion team will share our experiences and answer questions.
Objectives:
- To provide a comprehensive overview of the in motion initiative
- To discuss key steps, roles and processes for establishing a comprehensive strategy
- To answer the many questions which inevitably arise
Outcomes:
- You and your potential partners will have enough information to decide if the in motion strategies, learning's and possibly resources would be useful for your community.
- This step can be highly valuable in convincing senior management to proceed with a similar strategy for your community, with or without the further assistance of our Saskatoon in motion team of experts.
Package 2 - Consultation on the successful community mobilization model
If you and your potential partners decide you wish to proceed with planning a community-wide, physical activity strategy (with or without using the in motion branding), we offer a comprehensive Consultation and Resources Package designed to save you considerable time and money. It consists of ten person days of consulting (approx. 80 hours), plus a complete set of our six, information-packed resource binders.
The consultation will walk you through the details of our 10 step planning approach, plus the strategies behind our emphasis on five primary target groups. The consultation team will be assembled in cooperation with you, as will the "agenda and topic emphasis", to ensure that we fulfill your expectations. Any un-used portion of the ten days consulting commitment will be available for you to "draw upon" when additional assistance is desired.
With this consultation package you will also receive the resources that support the strategy:
- In motion Health Promotion Implementation Manual. This implementation resource manual covers the steps and strategies discussed through the consultation.
- Implementation manuals for each of the targeted strategies (Children and Youth, Workplace Wellness, Older Adults, Healthcare Referral and Primary Prevention of Diabetes). The implementation manuals outline the steps to engage the target groups. The implementation manuals also come with the complimentary Physical Activity Resource Guide designed for the front line community Champions to use.
Package 3 - Adoption of the in motion brand and strategy
For communities who are interested in adopting the in motion strategy in its entirety, the complete package provides you with all the elements of Package II as well as in motion's marketing and promotional tools.
Includes:
- In motion Health Promotion Implementation Manual
- Marketing plan
- Community Physical Activity Baseline Survey
- Five Target Strategy Implementation and Resource Manuals (i.e. Children and Youth)
