Storytelling is powerful and can move people to action. We all have personal stories about the pandemic and its impact -- and we’d like your help in sharing stories that promote individual and community health and wellbeing.
Healthy Davis Together is working to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and gradually return to regular activities through initiatives like providing free COVID-19 testing to anyone who lives or works in Davis and their immediate household. As part of our community outreach and education efforts, we want to gather stories and perspectives from residents of Davis and the surrounding areas about the importance of COVID-19 prevention measures, what Healthy Davis Together has been doing, and why individual actions are so important.
We’re seeking stories in the form of short videos, with the goal of sharing community COVID-19 experiences on Healthy Davis Together’s social media, website, and potentially in advertisements. We will also encourage you to share these videos on your platforms.
Please read the information in the PDF below, which has instructions on how to plan and practice, record, submit, and share your story. This Healthy Davis Together Community Testimonial Toolkit PDF also includes question prompts to help guide your storytelling.
If you choose to share your story with us, you are consenting to have your name and video submission/quotations shared publicly in Healthy Davis Together materials.
Please let Staff Assembly Chair Molly Bechtel ([email protected]) know if you have any questions. You can also send questions to [email protected] and our team will follow up with more information. We are here to provide assistance and guidance as needed.
