Re: Coping with stress during the 2019-nCoV outbreak - WHO
Brava for the list. Nicely done. I am thankful for helpful resources. And of course I would add, to that list, learn effective self-care. Personally, I continue to teach Emotional First-Aid, especially for times like these, and always I include the evidence-based 'people's tool' known as EFT Tapping. Easy to learn, apply, remember ...and just as importantly, it's effective . I have taught thousands to use these Emotional First-Aid tools to combat worry and anxious, looping thoughts, before...

Reimagining Healthcare as a Community Investment

Pathway for Trauma is Pathway for Resilience: Fresno Network's Message Inspires Hope
In Fresno, volunteers from local churches were already working with the schools, mentoring kids and running weekend recreation programs.

Data-Driven, Cross-Sector: Bounce Coalition Boosts Trauma-Informed Change in Kentucky
Student suspension rates dropped. Teacher retention rose. Membership in the PTA swelled from zero to more than 200.

Lauren Szymonik kept posing the same questions to members of the Empower Action coalition in Marlboro County: “What is the data telling you? What is the data saying about education?
