Description : "Metro-Omaha Raise Me to Read hosted its second virtual screening of Resilience The Biology of Stress and the Science of Hope, partnering with The Wellbeing Partners and featuring their Mental Health/ACEs Call to Action report. A child reared in adversity experiences toxic stress, which affects brain architecture, behavior, current and future health, and readiness to learn. Of course, then, this subject is important to both of our organizations. It is important to (in words from the film) “weave the understanding” about adversity and resilience throughout our community so that it can make “wise choices” and move from reacting to problems to responding. Maverick|PR assisted in outreach and pitches to local news and school entities. The March screening had 76 individuals whose affiliation includes 36 entities in 14 different cities, three states, and two countries. The entities include (noting the cities of those who are not from Omaha) : Diocese of San Hose (Los Altos, CA), EDGE (Nebraska City, NE), Buffett Early Childhood Institute, University of Nebraska Omaha, Juvenile Justice Institute, University of East Anglia (Suffolk & Lincolnshire, United Kingdom), St. Lucy’s Catholic Church (Campbell & Los Gatos, CA), One World Health, Omaha Healthy Kids Alliance, Lincoln Public Schools (Lincoln, NE), Douglas County Health and Human Services, Omaha Public Schools, Learning Center of South Omaha, Educare/Indian Hill, Papillion LaVista Public Schools (Papillion, NE), Citylight Church, Omaha Street School, Galvin Nonprofit Consulting Service, Beaufort Hyde Partnership for Children (Greenville, NC), International Council for Refugees & Immigrants/Americorps, College of St. Mary, Wake County Public Library [WCPL] (Raleigh, NC), Roots & Shoots Learning (Milton Keynes, United Kingdom), Immigrant Legal Center, Lutheran Family Services, Wholeheartedly LLC, UNL Trauma Informed Educators (Lincoln, NE), Nebraska Extension (Grand Island, NE), UNL Extension (O’Neil, NE), UNL Extension, Partnership for a Healthy Lincoln, Metropolitan Omaha Planning Agency, First Presbyterian Church, Independent/Non-Affiliated (Lincoln & Omaha).

Description : Becky Brusky's STAT 1100 class mapped social determinants of health in Pottawattamie county utilizing data from the 2018 CHNA and data collected by TWP from Pottawattamie county employees. The class mapped the zip codes where Pott County employees live and created tableaus with the mapped data for the county in order for them to assess the challenges their employees face outside of work. Students provided data analysis that The Wellbeing Partners would not have had access otherwise. Students were able to practice their data analysis skills and compiled relevant data that Pott county will use to assess their employees social determinants of health. This will allow the county to provide services and resources that are needed by their employees.

Description : Becky Brusky's STATS 1100 class were tasked with researching and innovating ideas on how to do data collection for our safe routes to school program. The students came up with innovative ideas to collect data from students that walk,roll, or bike to school. We know surveys are not preferred and there were some ideas that we would like to engage a future SLA class with. TWP will explore the idea of developing an app if an SLA class comes up and has the ability to do this. The idea came from the students themselves which would be a great app for the community.
