Caring Cubs will be using their creativity to create cards and envelopes for Adoption Network Cleveland! We will be creating birthday cards, thank you notes, and congratulations cards as well as brightening up envelopes that the organization will use to hold gift cards and tickets when distributing to their members. We will then hear a few books on kindness from a staff member of the locally owned Appletree Books.   Adoption Network Cleveland supports anyone touched by adoption – adoptees, birthparents, adoptive parents, foster youth and alumni, foster parents and professionals.

Target audience:

• Preschool
• School Age
• Parents and Families

A Community Viewing of “Resilience: The Biology of Stress & The Science of Hope”

2:00 Documentary Viewing

3:00 Remarks and Q&A by Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, Surgeon General of California, CEO of Center for Youth Wellness, Pediatrician

Researchers have discovered a dangerous biological syndrome caused by abuse and neglect during childhood. As the documentary Resilience reveals, toxic stress can trigger hormones that wreak havoc on the brains and bodies of children, putting them at a greater risk for disease, homelessness, prison time, and early death. While the broader impacts of poverty worsen the risk, no segment of society is immune. Resilience, however, also chronicles the dawn of a movement that is determined to fight back. Trailblazers in pediatrics, education, and social welfare are using cutting-edge science and field-tested therapies to protect children from the insidious effects of toxic stress—and the dark legacy of a childhood that no child would choose.
