Dear Rotarians,

 

As this goes hand-in-hand with our Red Ribbon Committee focus on our local youth, I would like to have at least a handful of Rotarians attend this training.  As a community, we need all partners involved to build resilience among our youth, especially as many are affected by the opioid epidemic.  The Biddeford School Department is working on putting together an evening event on January 24 with a focus on student trauma.  Brittany Ray specializes in Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and is working with us in Biddeford to become trauma-informed but it takes more than just teachers to nurture relationships with students.  

 

This conversation is designed for principals, school committee members, state elected officials, city council, community groups, police departments, etc.  Participants will learn about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the corresponding policy changes most needed in our schools and communities in order for students to thrive.  We know this is a quick turn around, but Brittany is in town working with Biddeford and the charge for her presentation would be zero. Please see the attached flyer, share as appropriate, and let me know if you are willing to attend.  As this is a training relevant to Red Ribbon, it will fall under a make-up/service hours meeting.
