Community
Purpose of this section
Define how the CSI community functions as a strategic education layer, not just a social space.
What CSI Means by “Community”
What problem does community solve that training alone cannot?
How does CSI balance professional rigor with human connection?
What does “belonging” look like in a child-safety context?
Role of Community Within CSI
Position community as infrastructure for learning, not an add-on.
Key points to structure:
CSI as the central education platform
Community as the connective tissue between:
National mandated reporter training
Paid specializations
Free and paid workshops
In-person events
Who the CSI Community Is For (and Not For)
High-signal clarity matters here.
Framework:
Primary members: mandated reporters and adjacent professionals
Readiness criteria
Who CSI is not designed to serve yet
Core Value Pillars of the CSI Community
Use the workbook’s four-pillar model, translated to CSI language.
Suggested pillars:
Learning: structured education, specializations, national training
Application: case discussion, scenario analysis, reporting clarity
Connection: peer exchange across roles and regions
Safety: emotional, professional, and ethical containment
Community Participation Model
Clarify expectations without pressure.
Structure:
Free community access
Optional paid learning pathways
Flexible participation
Asynchronous first, synchronous when valuable
