Lunch & Learn: Thriving Kids – Changing the Story of Trauma Through Positive Childhood Experiences
Join us, in person or online, for this FREE event in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month. Help the youth in your life thrive.
This event will focus on Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) and their role in healthy child development. This session will empower youth-serving professionals, mentors, educators, parents, grandparents, and other caregivers with practical tools to build safe, supportive environments where children can thrive.
Research shows that positive experiences in childhood improve mental health, strengthen resilience, and reduce long-term risk for trauma-related outcomes. During this session, you will learn what PCEs are, why they matter, and how consistent, everyday actions can create lasting impact.
During this session, you will:
– Learn about the four building blocks of positive childhood experiences that support lifelong resilience and positive mental health
– Understand strategies to create stability and a sense of belonging at home, in youth-serving settings, and in the community
– Create an action plan you can apply right away
Enjoy a free lunch while connecting with others who care about supporting children. Walk away with clear, practical steps you can use immediately in your daily interactions.
