Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

Higher levels of stress, higher levels of anxiety, higher levels of depression, higher levels of substance abuse.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation every year puts out a report about kinds of environments that put kids at excessive levels of stress, excuse me.

It's always been things on the list like poverty, child abuse, racism, those sorts of things.

But they added this topic, this concept, excessive pressure to excel a few years ago because they were finding so many kids with high levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse.

You know, the early days we were doing things like designing social enterprise water delivery models for communities in India and Kenya.

We were designing products like you know, treadle pumps and drip irrigation and, you know, different D light lanterns and solar lanterns and, and things that really sort of met the needs of, of communities around the world that sort of has really evolved into doing much more sort of systems design work, things like convening, Folks, leaders focused on health equity and health systems and bringing equity into health systems in the U.S. with Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to looking at, you know, how do we provide affordable or access, universal access to child care? care in this country, to work on digital financial services for women in India and Pakistan.

So working on a range of things, but all sort of with this notion of like, let's start with those that are impacted most by the challenges.
