R.O.C.K. Mat-Su partners created Braided Stories for adult audiences because understanding and addressing historical and intergenerational trauma is critical to achieving the vision of reducing child abuse and increasing family resilience in the Mat-Su.
The partnership sculpted the curriculum to specifically explore the histories, disparities, and strength of racial and ethnic groups in the Mat-Su. Evoking the braided rivers of the Mat-Su, participants intertwine their own stories with local history and voices in order to deepen understanding of the people, place, and lifestyles of the Mat-Su.
Through facilitated dialogue and personal reflection, the workshop creates a safe space to examine awareness of one’s personal identity, to explore the dynamics of power, and to consider possibilities for a healthier future for Mat-Su’s children.

For the past two years, a handful of people have documented how they overcame crippling social isolation and loneliness. They share how they did it in “All the Lonely People”.

This film examines the global epidemic of loneliness through the eyes of people of all ages and offers hope for solutions.
The Alaska premiere of “All the Lonely People” will include a welcome from film makers and a guest appearance from one of the Alaskans interviewed for the film.

Organizers hope this will be the start of a statewide community conversation about social isolation and loneliness, and how to address it.

This is a free event.
