Spring-Back' is a celebration of well-being, resilience from adversity and less daily stress.
It is hosted by The Bitterroot Cares for Kids Network, Emma’s House and Tobacco Free Ravalli, on April 20, in the Bedford Building.
"Spring-Back 2017 is designed to uplift professionals working with kids and parents or caregivers by understanding ways to take care of themselves in order to care for others effectively,” said Kierstin Schmitt, prevention coordinator at Emma's House. “We will offer a simple yoga class, a nutrition class, booths to visit with resources for self-care and the ‘Resilience’ movie with discussion.”
Schmitt said everyone who works with children can benefit from understanding the long-term effects of trauma on kids.
“The importance of understanding how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) or toxic stress effect children and families cannot be understated when it comes to personal physical and mental health, social and economic health,” she said.
