This resource has been developed as part of the Connecting Communities program, which is a partnership between MCWH and Safe and Equal that supports grantees working to deliver primary prevention with and for multicultural and faith communities.
Partnerships are a crucial tool for strengthening community-led primary prevention with multicultural communities, and strengthening practice more broadly within organisations seeking to engage multicultural and faith communities. Taking a partnership approach means looking closely at how organisations work together equitably, not just their project outcomes.
In this case study, we tell the story of the partnership between MCWH and Safe and Equal – to share what worked and what’s needed for prevention partnerships between specialist and mainstream organisations. This resource highlights key learnings about good partnership practice and demonstrates the benefits and impacts of focusing on equitable partnership work in prevention projects.
