This past Friday, March 8, 2019, about 35 community members and SJIPC board members came together to screen, Resilience: The Biology of Stress & The Science of Hope. Our aim is to learn together more about the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) science, trauma and resilience, with the intent to build capacity in a comprehensive community response system.

We are grateful to those that were able to join us in this important conversation and how they might be able to implement this in their family, work place or in the community.

What fills your heart?

It can be a hectic time of year, so before school let’s out for the holiday break some of our youth prevention team members organized a kind gesture by leaving a lovely note with a Suicide Prevention wallet sized card and a candy cane on everyone’s locker. It’s a gentle reminder that resources are available 24/7. Good work Rock Solid and HOTS Jr!
