Hi Steve. 
It's so kind of you to do this work to support health promotion---I know this can be a thankless job.

There is a big gap in what we know and how we work with young children and parents to support resilience. We know so much about what we could do---there is so much research. Yet our support systems for parents and for children are sadly lacking and behind.

I am one of the co-founders of Reaching IN...Reaching OUT (RIRO)  (www.reachinginreachingout.com ) an evidence-based program that helps build "resiliency" skills and well-being in service providers and parents so they can model or introduce these skills to children from birth to 8 years.
If I can be of any assistance in helping to spread the word in this area, please let me know.
Happy New Year,

Darlene

PS: I was a York faculty until 2000--I left to start RIRO

Subject: persistent gaps between knowledge and practice

Dear Health Promotion Colleagues

I am doing my annual "spring cleaning" preparing for a New Year - sorting through ideas and issues and problems and opportunities.  One thing I am increasingly mindful of are the gaps between what is known and what actually happens - on a personal, professional, and systemic level.

I would like to hear from you - what are some of the gaps between knowledge and practice you see that just drive you crazy?

Wishing you a happy new year!

Steve
