well-being

Welcome to The Practice Space, where we will meet at the intersection of meditation and clinical practices to explore ideas and skills that will help to support us in our professional practice.

This issue of CW360° is dedicated to exploring holistic views of well-being with a strong emphasis on addressing unresolved trauma as a key to better outcomes for children, youth, and families. Throughout this publication you will find research, policy, and practice strategies that reflect the emerging aspects of this work today.

This study examined the prevalence of social determinants of health (SDoH; e.g., homelessness, food assistance, and economic and insurance status), differences in SDoH by demographic and diagnostic groups within Gillette Children’s Minnesota patient population, and the relationship between patient SDoH, receipt of social support services, and patient medical complexity.

The intent of this study was to understand whether Public Health nurses were able to successfully integrate MFIP tasks into their existing public health service model and whether there were resulting impacts to select outcomes for teens.

Child welfare workers engage with children and families during some of the most challenging times in their lives. In this podcast series, we explore the importance of putting on your oxygen mask while helping others. As the metaphor goes, child welfare workers cannot properly support others without their own “air.” It is essential that workers have effective and sustainable support to care for themselves while they also care for families. You’ll hear what the workforce says they need, current research findings, and more on promising models to support worker wellbeing.
