Community Friends

Community Friends second match day! Mentors will have the chance to meet their mentees and their family! Games and a presentation will occur during this two-hour event. We can’t wait to meet everyone!

Screening and panel discussion of the documentary Resilience, which explores the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), experiences of extreme stress or trauma that have been linked to lasting negative effects on a child’s development and serious health risks later in life. The film offers hope that awareness of ACEs can lead to a greater investment in screening, prevention, and treatment. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with Donna Bailey, Co-Director of the Parent Child Center, Dr.
