Fully on board with the vital conditions... is resilience or the ability to bounceback regarded especially when the challenges are intergenerational?

was reflecting on just that miss over the past 10 min. my bad and will do! thanks for the nudge

In addition to what Bobby is saying, I think the greater the presence of the vital conditions in someone’s life in general the greater resilience.

With @ 20 Well Being Alliance 'members' already having signed 'well-being compacts' we have a good start on initial coverage of all the vital conditions - with most of you addressing 2 or more conditions.

Messaging is a challenge and opportunity with that diversity of approaches to Well Being. In the WBA we’re looking for ways to stay true to the messaging each of you is engaged in and also bring some broader messages that can be echoed and driven jointly for greater impact.

Here's a link to the Enterprise report on overcoming backfires: https://www.enterprisecommunity.org/resources/you-dont-have-to-live-here

A curated set of casemaking resources are available at: https://www.thecasemade.com/resources

This was shared with me today. Might be an example of telling a story about one place and how it can apply to others (what other cities/towns can do to work toward similar results) https://khn.org/news/want-to-reduce-suicides-follow-the-data-to-medical-offices-motels-and-even-animal-shelters/

Thanks Tyler, Geoff, Bobby and Albert!

That is a great example, Zuri!

Sometimes I think people rely on negative statistics to start messaging as a hook (by providing specific information an audience may not know) -- I see why this approach may be counter productive, but what strategies do you suggest for the very beginning of messaging to be specific enough to get people interested?

This is a good time to flag any topics that you want to get into more deeply on Nov 1.

If there are any additional questions, feel free to email me: albert@wellbeingtrust.org

Zuri, thank you for lifting up the wonderful example of a solution.

Holding my questions but an important challenge is the ability to understand and validate the resistance by individuals or groups to some of our history. For example, there are often irrational resistance to concepts like climate change, white priviledge or immigration that people hold personally. I suspect they are a defensive reaction to feeling disempowered.

Love the case-making principles and concepts for building public will even our frame for inclusion. Like it for the broad messaging. And formulating an informed, disciplined analysis of the current needs, specific strategies for addressing issues/needs; as well as the legacies of how we got to where we are now is something different. Proper prescription/treatment begins with thorough analysis and diagnosis - even if the doctor’s bedside manner is affirming. Strategy formation has to delve into the “devil of the details” (research, analysis, truth-telling…). We as the change agent body need to be embedded in those realities (past & present); and discussing strategies in these contexts

It is a privilege to be helping to create new legacies of well-being with you all!

Great point, Stacia. Lots more to discuss. Onward...
