The Futures Without Violence Changing Minds Now initiative is seeking feedback from school nurses on an infographic focusing on actionable steps to counterbalance childhood trauma. The details, including a link to the survey, are below:
Changing Minds NOW is a national campaign to raise awareness, teach skills, and inspire action to address children’s exposure to violence and childhood trauma.
Particularly at this time of the Covid-19 crisis, we are seeking input from you on the usefulness of a basic “infographic tool.” You can access the 10 minute survey by clicking here. All responses are anonymous and separate from any information that identifies you specifically. Your input is critical to inform program development and help us refine materials for national dissemination to nurses and other healthcare providers all across the country. Thank you so very much for taking part in this effort and, overall, for the vital work you do everyday!
