EMOTIONAL WELL BEING SUMMIT In January 2017, on his first day as Well Being Trust's CEO, Tyler Norris presented at the "Emotional Well Being Summit" in Washington, D.C., which included over 100 leaders from across the nation, hosted by the Veterans Administration and 19th surgeon general, Vivek Murthy, MD. Since then, Well Being Trust has been incubating a new social venture that is advancing Dr. Murthy's vision. With our support, his formative entity is building out the science base and growing the public/influencer discourse on what increases and what depletes personal, family and community well-being. Dr. Murthy now serves as our first senior fellow, helping guide our Advisory Council. HIGHLIGHTS WELL-BEING LEGACY In March 2017, Tyler Norris led the opening plenary call for a nationwide "healthy community agenda" at the Association for Community Health Improvement annual meeting. That day, and in the months that followed in meetings with business, governmental, nonprofit, faith and community sectors, we have found broad-based support to mobilize a locally rooted community health agenda as a national force for change. A broad-based collaboration has begun to form around our call to action, cultivated with early seed funding in May. Now called Well-Being Legacy, dozens of organizations and communities are beginning to advance an inclusive multiyear initiative to coalesce a transpartisan investment and policy strategy for assuring the conditions for intergenerational well-being in the nation. PARTNERSHIP WITH NONPROFIT FINANCE FUND AND PREVENTION INSTITUTE Well Being Trust is committed to bringing together diverse stakeholders to advance community-driven solutions relating to key issues such as homelessness and trauma. Through our partnership with the Nonprofit Finance Fund, we are engaging leaders in a cross-sector dialogue about strategies and innovations to unlock private capital for housing developments with supportive services and address solutions for high-needs individuals experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles County. Similarly, we are working with Prevention Institute to build the capacity of California communities experiencing trauma to identify resources and promote healing through the advancement of their Adverse Community Experience and Resilience (ACE|R) framework.
