Safety Organized Practice (SOP) Implementation and Sustainability Learning Collaborative

This collaborative will provide a platform for county leaders, trainers, coaches and Safety Organized Practice (SOP) champions to come together and discuss implementing and sustaining SOP within their county. Participants will share experiences about challenges, what is working well, and strategies for implementation and sustainability for shared learning and overcoming problem-solving barriers. Additionally, this will be an opportunity to learn about new resources and updates regarding SOP in connection with the California SOP Backbone Committee. Topics will be driven by the needs and interests of the collaborative participants, and information will be provided by SOP experts through presentations and interactive dialog. This is a wonderful opportunity to network and stay connected to SOP updates and resources.

This collaborative is best for individuals in counties who are involved in implementation, training, coaching and supporting SOP practice, including SOP champions.
