Project Teams Launch and Stakeholder Interview Share-outs

11/8/2018

 

Getting to the root of mental health in DGO notes from Tuesday

Picture
TodayStarter: Turn and chat with a neighbor, be ready to share out!
  1. What is your definition of "resilience"? 
  2. What are ways to build resiliency?

Whole Class
  1. Share out your starter chats
  2. Let's look at a couple resources and get a common definition.
  • What is Resilience?  (website with resiliency resources for teens)
  • The science of resilience   (Harvard University video- 2 minutes)

Resilience Definitions
  1. the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties, change, misfortune, stress.
  2. the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape; elasticity.
  3. Resilience is a person's ability to cope with living in spite of stresses. Resilience is about coping with problems, and building strengths that protect and promote well-being.

Today's Goals
  1. Understand the various perspectives from stakeholder interviews and drill down on their needs 
  2. Understand the overarching goal we decided on in the steering committee and the process and project ideas that came from it
  3. Choose your project team (at least top 2 choices)
  4. Get some work done!

Project Ideas Overview: "We Are Resilient Together"
Overarching goal (rough draft): Build a more resilient community through multiple student-led projects with community partnerships meant to provide much needed mental health resources and form stronger connections.
  1.  Ashley gives overarching idea and the process we used to  come to this (root causes, stakeholder interviews, partners, steering committee yesterday....)
  2. Student innovators present specific ideas (Acacia, Alma, Ava, Cady, Evan, Charlie)

Some More Ashley Thoughts: Resiliency is about fixing the fence-- if you can help people develop strategies to bounce back from stress and hard times, you're hopefully avoiding having to pull them out of the river later on. However, BOTH prevention and intervention are needed and these project ideas get at both. Moreover, a more sustainable solution is one that helps people and communities be resilient. AND a more sustainable solution is one that can live on beyond our time. The resources we create AND partnerships we form to continue our work and share our work through their networks, will ideally ensure that. 

Stakeholder Conversation
Get in 3 groups, ideally not with anyone from your interview group.
You need:  "Getting to the Root" handout, pen/pencil
  1. Read aloud pages 2-3 in Getting to the Root handout, about Maslow’s hierarchy of needs
  2. Share out main takeaways from stakeholder interviews
    • How does your stakeholder group define the problem?
    • What are their needs? Vs. What are their wants?
    • What are their assumptions and values?
    • What solutions would they support?
    • 1 enlightening/inspiring quote
  3. Discuss and take notes on:
    1. Common themes, solutions, needs/wants
    2. Key differences
    3. As you discuss, fill out PAGE 4 of the Getting to the Root handout
