"It takes a community."

You are invited to join Shauna Tominey, associate professor in human development and family sciences at Oregon State University, as she presents her lecture, “It Takes a Community: Supporting Children and Families in an Ever-Changing World."

In a rapidly evolving society, change is happening faster than our brains can process it. Children and teens are navigating typical developmental milestones along with information overload, constant digital connectivity, and worries about the state of the world. Families are experiencing burnout and isolation at alarming levels while having more ways to connect than ever before. Living in a society that is cultivating chronic stress needs an antidote. This presentation highlights lessons learned from the fields of early childhood and family sciences that point to antidotes for chronic stress: connection, compassion, and community. Join the conversation to reflect on the state of children and families (their many strengths as well as current challenges) while identifying how we can each make a difference.

Mark your calendar to join us on Wednesday, September 16 at 3 p.m. in the Wildcat Chamber to hear Shauna Tominey's lecture and witness her will receive the Career Impact Award from HHS, the top award given by the college!

What if after-school programs prioritized physical activity? 🏫 🏃‍♀️‍➡️🏃‍♂️‍➡️

Most children do not get enough physical activity each day. This contributes to high rates of childhood obesity.

Out-of-school time programs offer an important opportunity to help children be more active, but many staff lack the needed training to create environments that promote the needed physical activity.

Dr. Peter Stoepker, Associate Professor in the K-State School of Health Sciences, leads of a team of researchers in the College of Health and Human Sciences at Kansas State University who are finding ways to help. These researchers study how the behaviors of out-of-school program staff influence children’s activity levels. This information allows the team to work with these programs to organize activities that increased student engagement in physical activity and make after-school programs healthier for Kansas children.
