San Diego Countywide Media Advocacy
About CWMA
The Countywide Media Advocacy (CWMA) project actively engages prevention advocates, regional providers, and community members to strengthen the County’s Substance Use Prevention System's media outreach and advocacy goals. Our experienced team offers comprehensive public speaker training to prepare stakeholders and their partners with the necessary skills to effectively communicate across various news media platforms, including print, television, social media, and more.
Our primary goal is to enhance the scope and influence of prevention by providing tailored training, advanced technical assistance, and nurturing partnerships with Spanish and English news platforms. We are committed to empowering youth and adult community advocates with essential skills and tools to engage confidently with media outlets and to bring their data-informed messages to the forefront of community discourse.
