Adverse Childhood Experiences Programs at NBPL, March 17

At 5:30 pm on Thursday March 17 and Thursday, April 7 the North Bend Public Library is teaming up with South Coast Together to offer two workshops on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). The 1998 CDC/Kaizer study of adverse childhood experiences led to new understandings of the links between abuse, neglect, and dysfunction in childhood and health outcomes including asthma, lowered immunity, heart disease, and elevated risks of cancer and early death. The program March 17, Understanding ACEs: Building Self-Healing Communities, will focus on
ACEs and the effects. On April 7, Self-Regulation and Resilience explores strategies for self-care and the tools for building resilience. The events will be a hybrid of live and virtual, with limited space available at the library, and virtual attendance via Zoom. The Zoom registration link for both workshops is https://tinyurl.com/37ybr4bd.  For those wishing to attend in person, please sign up by going to https://forms.office.com/r/9Hr0Hvfi5N. As space is limited, requests will be honored on a firstcome, first-served basis, and all applicants will receive word of their status Wednesday, March 16.
