I used ‘Wheel’ to teach (my daughter) letter recognition and colors. I would hear myself solving puzzles and saying aloud, ‘I could do this. I should go on the show.’ I wanted my daughter to see me not just talk, but take action, so we recorded an audition video.

The scope of my doctoral research examines family and social relationships and their influence on the prevalence and severity of depressive symptoms among elderly individuals living in community settings in Brazil.

We hope we can model that peer mentor relationship. As someone who aged out of foster care, I hope that I can show (others) what that looks like as (they’re) undertaking their educational journey.

“Latino children are disproportionately affected by poverty, yet before the center (National Research Center on Hispanic Children and Families) was founded, there wasn’t much information about what challenges Latino families face with access to child care, We’ve aimed to better understand the landscape for low-income Hispanic families and find the most effective ways to connect this group with accessible and affordable child care and education.”

I’m giving (teachers) the tools to address wellbeing and resilience, but if their environment doesn’t change, then how much of a help or support can that really be? Wellbeing needs to be embedded in everything: their programs, professional development opportunities, and policies overall.
