The purpose of the Action Learning Collaborative (ALC) is to accelerate collaboration among interested colleagues across organizations, sectors, disciplines, and perspectives to address challenges to greater use of LARC in our community as an effective prevention strategy for women’s health.
The ALC is made up of small teams of colleagues who agree to work together, with support and assistance from PCI Staff over 2 – 3 months. Together teams have the capacity to suggest recommendations for overcoming leading barriers identified by diverse stakeholders at the June 2015 PCI Action Learning Workshop. Individuals are encouraged to register, indicating one, two, and/or three themes they would like to pursue further. The PCI staff will facilitate opportunities for groups to form and participate in ‘barrier busting’ strategies.
Registration due by Friday, September 11.

Hosted by the PCI: A Catalyst for Women’s Health
Last June, a pilot program of the Pabst Catalyst Initiative (PCI), co-led by the UWM Zilber School of Public Health, Medical College of Wisconsin Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, and the City of Milwaukee Health Department, gathered more than 50 stakeholders for an action learning workshop to consider the latest science and best practices of Long Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC). Out of this meeting, three collaborative strategies have been pursued:
- Acceptability: better understanding community perspectives and concerns about LARC
- Availability: working with health providers to enable same-day LARC insertion when requested by women
- Accessibility: increasing access to LARC and women’s healthcare through mobile health services
“Action Learning Teams” open to all interested individuals and organizations have been exploring these strategies and are ready to share their work. Join us to hear strategic updates, provide feedback on recommendations, and work toward strategic alignment with related efforts for improving women’s health.
