During a recent government meeting, significant discussions centered around community support for domestic violence awareness and the results of a well-being survey conducted in Nibley.

Kara Tim from CAPSA (Citizens Against Physical and Sexual Abuse) addressed the council, highlighting October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. She shared a poignant story from a survivor who utilized CAPSA's services, illustrating the organization's impact on individuals facing domestic violence. Tim emphasized the importance of community support and collaboration in addressing these issues, inviting council members to sign a pledge board to publicly show their commitment to raising awareness and supporting survivors.

The council also reviewed the results of the USU wellness survey, presented by Emma Epperson, which assessed the well-being of Nibley residents. The survey revealed that personal well-being in Nibley is relatively high, with an average score of 4.14 out of 5. However, community well-being was slightly lower at 3.92. Epperson noted that while personal well-being has remained stable over time, concerns about physical health persist, indicating a need for improved community health initiatives.

The meeting also included discussions about naming a new park in Nibley. The council considered various suggestions, including \"Nibley City Park\" and \"River Park,\" following a mock city council meeting with local second graders who provided creative input. The council ultimately decided to continue the discussion and narrow down the options for the park's name at the next meeting.

Overall, the meeting underscored the importance of community engagement in addressing social issues and enhancing the quality of life for residents in Nibley.
