Thanks for posting, Andi. Beautiful spot! Do you know if they educate about ACEs with clients?

Thank you Andi for shining a light on such an exemplary model for all communities to learn from.

I believe that they will be offering community trainings in the coming months to educate the community on the effects of ACEs and the benefits of creating healing through resiliency building relationships.

Thanks Andi for sharing Randi Pearlman Wolfson's insightful wisdom. We are all grieving the loss of loved ones as the circle of life continues... I'm going to purchase Randi's book “I Wish I had a Book to Read: Helping a child’s heart heal when someone special has died" and share with the children and youth I facilitate Youth Leadership with weekly.
