Hot off the press! Check this collab w/ @meganabartlett & @DrWhitley on the need for more trauma-informed HS sports. Read, share, and implement the practical suggestions to help our athletes heal #nothinghealslikesport https://t.co/o8PnCfCO5J
How fun to get to present with my friend & colleague @moadrienne.
We told the story of @kcplayequity and how we use data to connect community and drive advocacy.
WE DID IT!🔥
Today @GovInslee signed our #RecessForWA bill into law!
WA state students in grades K-5 will be guaranteed at least 30 minutes of recess beginning in the 2024-2025 school year.

Well, it looks like this actually might happen! We won't fully celebrate until it's signed by the Governor, but we are starting to plan the party 😉🤞🛝👏

This @nytimes article, published today, uses data from a Seattle study!
The fact that so many barriers exist (and persist!) for kids to be physically active & participate in sports is EXACTLY why we do the work we do!

Today, politicians in DC are claiming to “protect women's sports” by pushing a trans & intersex sports ban. Call your Congressional rep today to say women's sports need protection from unequal pay, sexual abuse & lack of resources, NOT from trans kids. #LetKidsPlay

@andrewmead73 Well worth a deeper conversation - to include our colleagues at @CHJSorg A good start is the power of connection and community within each team. But coaches and players would benefit from learning more about trauma and trauma-aware/sensitive practices within sport.
Congrats to the recipients & congrats to the @kcplayequity team that designed & led this innovative participatory process w/ coaches, providers, youth & community members. Thanks to @kingcountyparks for the partnership! This is grant making for the future!
