"October has been proclaimed Children’s Resilience Month in Walla Walla! In making its proclamation, the Walla Walla City Council is acknowledging and honoring the important work of the Children’s Resilience Initiative, a local grass roots group many know as CRI.
"Why is the work of CRI important to every person in our Valley? It’s simple — CRI helps individuals identify adverse childhood experiences (forming the easy to remember acronym ACEs) that might have affected their ability to cope and lead happy and successful lives....
"In celebration of Children’s Resilience Month, please pass along an intentional act of nurturing. Send a card to a friend, pick up the phone and tell someone you love them, do not wait to hug a child and tell them how special they are. Pass on resilience to a stranger, a neighbor, a child or your favorite person.
"Remember, every act of kindness can bring strength into another’s life. That is awesome! October is Children’s Resilience Month, pass it on!
