SUMMARY:R.O.C.K. Mat-Su Go Blue Rally!
DESCRIPTION:Join us! \nR.O.C.K. Mat-Su is hosting a rally on March 31st to raise awareness and kick off Child Abuse Prevention Month. April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. \nThe rally will take place on the corner of Parks Hwy. and Crusey St. on both the McDonald’s and Newcomb Park side from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm. \nThis is a nationwide effort to raise public awareness about and take a stand against child abuse and neglect. It is a time to acknowledge the importance of families and communities who work together to prevent child abuse and neglect and to promote the social and emotional well-being of children and families. \nCan’t attend the rally? Here are other suggestions: \n– Wear blue on March 31st. Take a selfie and posted it on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram using the following hashtags: #CAPAlaska\, #GoBlueAlaska\, #rockmatsu \n– Send out an email to everyone at work\, friends\, and family\, encouraging them to wear blue \n– Create a sign and join us! \nWe must abide by the State of Alaska’s right-of-way guidelines. \n• Stay off the train track side of Parks Hwy as there is no sidewalk and the tracks are close by and it is unknown if snow berms are present on that side of the highway\, instead stay on the sidewalk side of Parks Hwy. \n• Do not interfere with vehicular or pedestrian traffic. \n• Do not leave any signs or banners behind after the rally is done. \n• Do not park any vehicles along the highway or right of way for the rally. \n• No selling or commerce in the State of Alaska right of way.

SUMMARY:Online Presentation | Adverse Childhood Experiences & Resilience
DESCRIPTION:This FREE presentation is open to ADULTS who are interested in learning how to identify and counteract Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) to develop resilient kids. \nFrequent or prolonged exposure to stress can create toxic stress which can damage the developing brain of a child and overall health. A Survival Mode Response to toxic stress increases a child’s heart rate\, blood pressure\, breathing\, and muscle tension. Their thinking brain is knocked offline. Self-protection is their priority. In other words: “I can’t hear you! I can’t respond to you! I am just trying to be safe!” \nLearn How Resilience Trumps ACEs! Parents\, Teachers\, and Caregivers can help by: \n– Gaining an understanding of ACEs and how they affect children’s social\, emotional\, and cognitive abilities and their connection to a wide range of health problems throughout a person’s lifespan. \n– Creating environments where children feel safe emotionally & physically. \n– Helping children identify feelings & manage emotions \n– Creating a safe physical & emotional environment at home\, in school\, and neighborhoods. \n– Share ways to build resilience. \nQuestions? \nPresentation Content Contact: boydenmichelle@gmail.com \nEvent Details Contact: candrews@rockmatsu.org
