Throughout our learning series on the Whole Child, Whole Family and the Social Determinants of Health we have identified that both risk factors and solutions are multidimensional and complex.  That means it can be hard to help those working in the out of school time arena to help families navigate resources, but it also means that even the small efforts we make can have a ripple effect of positive impacts and walking school buses are a great example of just that.

Rachel Deterding, a Community School Resource Coordinator at Lake View Elementary School in Madison Metropolitan School District, is here to talk to us about the multiplying impacts of a walking school bus. She breaks down the benefits, tells us how to do a simple assessment, and gives us insight into simple things we can all do for the kids in our program.
