As legislators and advocates around the state are gearing up for the 2022 General Assembly beginning in January, the Bounce Coalition is preparing to advocate for policies that address the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences, or ACEs.

The Bounce Coalition is proud to partner with Bloom Kentucky, the Blueprint for Kentucky's Children, and Kosair Charities' Face It Movement to shine a light on the need to prevent and mitigate ACEs among Kentucky's kids and families.

Join Bloom Kentucky's Advocacy Training on Friday, January 7th from 3:00-4:30PM and stay up to date on the happenings in Frankfort with the 2022 Kentucky General Assembly Bill Tracker.

TIP OF THE MONTH

Showing gratitude is intentional. It is a simple way to be in the moment and pay attention to positive aspects of life that often go unnoticed. Use the GLAD technique to help you in your practice:

• What is one thing you are Grateful for today?
• What is one thing you Learned today?
• What is one thing you Accomplished today?
• What is one thing that brought you Delight today?

The final step of the GLAD technique is to share it with others!
