Making the Case
Rationale must center on the health benefits to all
Effective policies speak to the “return on investment”
Strategies for Effective Policy Implementation
An effective policy must address clients, visitors, and staff
Effective implementation consists of 10 steps: convene a wellness committee, create your change plan, draft your policy, communicate your plan, build community support, provide education, offer tobacco cessation services, launch your policy, enforce your policy, evaluate your program
Case Studies and Resources
Examples of successful policies
