This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WhyWeRise is a social marketing campaign conducted by the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LACDMH) to promote community engagement with mental health issues, reduce barriers to care, and increase awareness of how to seek mental health care. LACDMH has partnered with the Los Angeles Dodgers for several years to expand the reach of the campaign to the Major League Baseball team's audience and spread the WhyWeRise messages to the Dodgers' extensive Hispanic fan base-a key county demographic with attitudes toward mental illness that sometimes differ from those of other ethnic groups. The LACDMH/Dodgers campaign focused on awareness of resources and stigma reduction among Hispanic county residents. This report builds on prior RAND work and provides an evaluation of the reach of the 2022 Dodgers campaign overall and a focus on the reach to (and potential impact of outreach on) attendees of 2022 Dodger games. Results indicate that the Dodgers campaign reached a substantial percentage of Los Angeles County residents: 12 percent of adults and 27 percent of youth reported exposure to the campaign, translating to more than 800,000 adults and more than 400,000 youth reached. The campaign was effective in targeting Hispanic- or Latino-identifying residents, who made up 71 percent of youth who were campaign-exposed and 58 percent of adults exposed. In summary, there is evidence that the Dodgers campaign successfully reached Los Angeles County residents, particularly Hispanics and young adults, and that those reached were more aware of key county mental health resources.

Download or read book Evaluation of Los Angeles County s Mental Health Community Engagement Campaign written by Rebecca L. Collins and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health recently undertook a community engagement campaign that sought to increase awareness of mental health access as a civil rights issue and increase civic engagement. The WeRise/WhyWeRise campaign was composed of a website (whywerise.la); social media outreach through Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter; and, as its centerpiece, the WeRise event, an immersive experience in downtown Los Angeles in which visitors were exposed to an art gallery, rally, performances, panels, and workshops. To evaluate how well the campaign met its goals, RAND conducted an in-person survey of WeRise attendees; a social media analysis of Twitter conversations related to WeRise/WhyWeRise, mental health, mental illness, and well-being; and a web-based survey of a broader population of Los Angeles youth in the age range targeted by WeRise/WhyWeRise. Overall, the evaluation found evidence that the WeRise/WhyWeRise mental health campaign had impressive reach into the Los Angeles community, with one in five young people exposed to the campaign in some way during the brief period examined. There is early evidence that the campaign might be associated with positive outcomes, such as increased supportive and understanding attitudes toward people with mental illness, awareness of the challenges people with mental illness face, knowledge of how to get help for mental health challenges, and, importantly, empowerment and mobilization toward activism around mental health issues.
Download or read book Evaluation of Los Angeles County s WhyWeRise Mental Health Campaign written by Rebecca L. Collins and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May 2018, the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LACDMH) launched WhyWeRise, a social marketing campaign intended to promote community engagement with mental health issues and create a movement to address barriers to mental health access. The campaign targets youth ages 14-24, with the goal of activating youth to advocate for well-being and access to quality mental health care as civil rights. A year later, the campaign still embodies the same general themes, but there was an increased emphasis in 2019 on confronting challenges to mental health and well-being. The current phase of the campaign notes the importance of feeling that life has purpose or meaning, the centrality of hope to well-being, and the need to obtain social support and provide it to others. In both 2018 and 2019, a central part of the WhyWeRise campaign was the WeRise event, which offers a large art gallery, a rally, performances, panels, and workshops. To gain insight into the WhyWeRise reach and impact, RAND evaluated the campaign broadly and the WeRise event specifically, through in-person interviews of WeRise event attendees and an online survey of youth throughout Los Angeles County. The in-person survey looks at the experiences of those who attended the WeRise event, while the online survey allows for comparison of those who were exposed to the WhyWeRise campaign (through the WeRise event or other means) with those who were not exposed to the campaign.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WhyWeRise is a social marketing campaign conducted by the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LACDMH) that is focused on prevention of and early intervention for mental health challenges among county residents. The primary aim of the fall 2020 WhyWeRise campaign was to continue to raise awareness of resources available to support mental health in Los Angeles County, increase perceptions of support, and foster feelings of hope and connection. WhyWeRise includes WeRise events each spring. Because of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, WeRise events in 2021 were held both online and in person. LACDMH and the California Mental Health Services Authority commissioned the RAND Corporation to conduct an evaluation of the reach and impact of the fall 2020 WhyWeRise campaign and the 2021 WeRise online events. Surveys found that WhyWeRise successfully reached Los Angeles County residents, especially Hispanic residents and those who are economically and educationally less advantaged. Those whom the campaign materials reached agreed that the materials made them feel that their mental health was important. Los Angeles County residents exposed to the campaign were more likely to be aware of the information and resources offered by LACDMH and to say that LACDMH is available for them if they need help. Those who attended WeRise online events said they felt empowered by the events, connected to community, and hopeful about the future. They also said that they knew where to find mental health resources.
Download or read book Evaluation of Los Angeles County s 2019 Spark the True You Mental Health Campaign written by Rebecca L. Collins and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2019, Los Angeles County, in partnership with the Los Angeles Sparks basketball team, conducted a promotional campaign involving a series of events and associated materials under the title "Spark the True You" (STTU). The campaign's goals were to destigmatize mental illness by normalizing the experience of mental health problems; to educate, assist, and activate a community of support for military women, women veterans, and their families; and to highlight the value of women veterans to their communities. Many women veterans experience posttraumatic stress disorder or depression or have experienced military sexual trauma, and rates of suicide are 1.8 times higher among women veterans than nonveterans. STTU involved events related to employment opportunities, veteran programs, stress management, self-care, families as sources of both stress and support, rehabilitation, homelessness, and diet and exercise, and STTU was also integrated into Sparks games. In addition to the games and events, advertisements on local television, posts on social media, and street advertising were used to promote awareness of STTU and its messages. The project team evaluated the reach and impact of the campaign using online and in-person surveys. Overall, although the STTU campaign sometimes struggled to reach individuals, it successfully provided new information about how to improve mental health and access relevant resources among those it did reach. The most-successful methods of outreach appear to have been Sparks games and social media posts. Most participants perceived STTU events and materials as providing new information about the key topics targeted by the campaign, including mental health and how to connect to care.
Download or read book Sho Time written by Jeff Fletcher and published by Diversion Books. This book was released on 2022-07-19 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story behind Major League Baseball’s two-way playing phenomenon and his rise from early days in Japan to his historic 2021 MVP season. Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels is playing baseball like no other major leaguer since Babe Ruth. His dominance as a two-way player—an electric pitcher and an elite slugger—made him the 2021 American League Most Valuable Player, the only player ever selected as an All Star as both a pitcher and hitter, and a member of Time 100’s most influential people of 2021. In Ohtani’s first two-way game of the 2021 season, he threw a pitch at 100 mph and hit a homer that left his bat at 115 mph, a confluence of feats unmatched by anyone else in the sport. He racked up eye-popping achievements all year. But awards and numbers tell only part of his amazing story. In Sho-Time, award-winning sportswriter Jeff Fletcher, who has covered Ohtani more than any other American journalist, charts Ohtani’s path through Japanese baseball to a championship with the Nippon-Ham Fighters, the recruiting war to bring him to the majors, his 2018 AL Rookie of the Year campaign, subsequent injury-riddled seasons, and then his historic 2021 season. Along the way, Fletcher weaves in the history of two-way players—including Babe Ruth and unsung Negro Leagues players like “Bullet” Joe Rogan, Martín Dihigo, and Ted “Double Duty” Radcliffe—and the Japanese athletes who preceded Ohtani in the majors. With insight from Japanese and American baseball front office personnel, managers, scouts, athletic trainers, ballplayers, and more, Sho-Time breaks down the physics of Ohtani’s game, his technologically advanced training, his international fame, and the role he and teammate Mike Trout are playing to lead baseball into the next generation. Praise for Sho-Time “Jeff Fletcher masterfully chronicles not only what Ohtani accomplished in ‘21, but also provides the full context to his achievements. . . . Fletcher’s book is the definitive look at Ohtani’s two-way majesty.” —Ken Rosenthal, Senior Writer at The Athletic “Historians will be talking about Shohei Ohtani’s 2021 season for decades, and thankfully the baseball gods arranged for Jeff Fletcher to be there to cover baseball’s best two-way player ever in the midst of a pandemic, to bear witness and mine details and write with grace about the sport’s most incredible individual performance.” —Buster Olney, ESPN “The essential portrait of baseball’s most captivating player. . . . Fletcher goes beyond the carefully scripted press conferences, revealing in vivid detail the challenges and triumphs of a baseball journey like no other.” —Tyler Kepner, The New York Times

Book excerpt: "No matter how dark it may seem, light finds a way to shine through," the mermaid king tells his daughter, and as she explores his undersea kingdom, she never doubts his words. In the days before the moon and tides exist, the kingdom is at peace. Singing fills the streets, and the subjects thrive under the reign of their king, queen, and princess. Then a shocking betrayal robs the kingdom of light, silences all singing, and plunges the mermaid princess into grief and despair. As her world falls apart, she faces questions she never expected to ask. Can she alone sing loudly enough to defeat fear? What light could shine brightly enough to overcome the darkness? Two unexpected encounters teach her surprising lessons about love, hope, and forgiveness. Along her journey toward freedom for herself and her people the truth becomes clear: if her kingdom will ever be restored to its former glory, the entire world will have to change.
