Now, Well Being Trust is building off this work to ensure that all sectors are becoming more aligned with measures that support well-being. • Worked with Community Commons to create infrastructure of sharing community-level stories and data around well-being • Began working with the National Committee on Vital Statistics to create metrics on measuring well- being across communities and the nation • Accelerate shared learnings and advance the implementation of promising strategies: Building off a common set of core measures, Well Being Trust can start to advance what works and what doesn't for mental health and well-being. Sharing data through stories, community profiles, policy briefs, and external written communication, Well Being Trust aims to add to the local and national dialogue on well-being, allowing for promising practices to be adopted and, in some cases, scaled. • In partnership with Providence St. Joseph Health System a menu of solutions was created, which highlighted evidence-based practices for better addressing mental health and substance use disorders. • We also partnered with Providence Ventures around innovations in tele-psychiatry and digital tools for behavioral health. Overall, Well Being Trust is working to partner in harnessing data to identify areas of opportunity, inform solutions, and measure results that can ensure investments and initiatives are ever-increasing their impact at scale. As a national organization, this is a challenging proposition, one that requires strategic partners, but one that we believe is essential in accomplishing our mission.
