Each partner and agency is in a different place on the continuum.Your job to identify where they are and who is most likely to move over and who is vital to have on board.One of the struggles of communities is getting all the audiences on board.Where is your audience?-Where are YOUR staff? Your partners?-who is your audience, where are they in the scale of change, and how can you get them to advance in the scale of change and come closer to accepting the values and principles of SOC?As system of care communities became more familiar with social marketing, the more they realize that it is compatible with their core values (family-driven and youth-guided, community-based, culturally and linguistically competent).
