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).

These resources are being shared with the community as a whole via our website and social media pages, as well as specifically targeted to OPS schools in zip codes identified as having higher health risks. Teachers and administrators at these schools will share the resources directly with their students. While working with The Wellbeing Partners, UNO students learned about the population of students at their target schools, including the need to create graphics that were at appropriate reading levels, representative of the student population, and culturally sensitive. UNO students also learned about some common physical activity barriers that targeted OPS students may experience (ie lack of outdoor play space, lack of funds for sports clubs, etc). While working with Dr. Dinkel, students learned theories of physical activity promotion and motivation that were applied to the infographics and videos they created. The resources created by the UNO students that were selected to be shared can be found here: https://www.thewellbeingpartners.org/change/activate-youth/physical-activity-promotion/ The economic value of the project was $1750. This project allowed us to provide high quality and useful resources to our school partners and community members. Partnering with KINS 3900 students allowed us to utilize their expertise in physical activity promotion. UNO KINS 3900 students benefited from this project by learning about the school community that many may choose to serve in their later careers. This project gave them a practical application for the knowledge they gained throughout the course as to how to promote physical activity and motivate people, including children, to be physically active. Dr. Dinkel, faculty for UNO, benefited by being able to provide a real-life application for the content that she was teaching. OPS schools and the community at large benefited by gaining access to high-quality resources that can be used to promote physical activity for children and their families. | ||
