Overview
Day 1 was a discussion about how research can be translated into everyday practice, so that parents, educators, and school leaders can draw on credible evidence to make better decisions in everyday life. Participants explored RaiseWisely™ as a bridge between research, lived experience, education and practical guidance, and how it can: (1) build shared language and trusted mental models in a fragmented digital wellbeing landscape; (2) turn credible but often inaccessible knowledge into practical capability for families, schools and communities; and (3) operate as a long-term, research-informed initiative built for continuous delivery.
Day 2 was a discussion about the gap between technological advancement and society’s capacity to respond. As digital environments evolve, families, schools and institutions are often left to navigate change without coordinated, evidence-informed support. Participants explored how RaiseWisely™ can generate impact at both community and systems level through three stages: (1) Re-QUEST, which co-designs the response; (2) ACT, which co-creates the program or innovation that carries it into practice; and (3) IMPACT, which scales successful implementations.
