Healthy Community Coalition schedules free film screening and lunch

By Kattie Thurow GREEN COUNTY EXTENSION

Free lunch and a film screening are set for you next Thursday, Oct. 6 from 12:30 to 2 p.m. in Monroe Public Library’s second floor.

Green County Healthy Community Coalition is ex cited to share this opportu nity to learn about Adverse Childhood Experiences (or ACEs).

After the film screening, we will have a discussion about how we as a commu nity are planning to come to gether to enhance children’s access to Positive Childhood Experiences

RESILIENCE is a onehour documentary that delves into the science of Adverse Childhood Experi ences (ACEs) and the birth of a new movement to treat and prevent toxic stress.

Experts now believe that toxic stress is one of the leading causes of everything

from heart disease and can cer to substance abuse and depression.

These extremely stressful experiences in childhood can alter brain development and have lifelong effects on health and behavior.

RESILIENCE chronicles this new approach among pediatricians, therapists, ed ucators and communities who are using cutting-edge science to disrupt cycles of violence, addiction and dis ease.

Positive Childhood Ex periences (PCEs) are the strengths and connections that children and young peo ple have that have positive developmental and healing effects.

Typically, these are not things that can be bought or that necessarily cost a lot of money. They are the experi ences that help children learn to trust others even when life is uncertain, difficult or

frightening.

They happen when adults are willing to talk honestly about things that are hard to understand, scary, embar rassing or painful.

When adults are willing to have these types of conversa tions with children, the result is that children feel reassured that they are not alone in their struggles and they are better able to find meaning or purpose in their struggles.

Positive Childhood Expe riences also include oppor tunities to engage in mean ingful learning and growth experiences.

Virtual family caregiver workshop starts Friday

Participants receive free copy of ‘The Caregiver Help’ book

Providing care for a friend or family member can be a rewarding experience, but it often provides challenges.

More than 65 million fam ily caregivers in America provide emotional, financial, nursing, homemaking and other services on a daily or intermittent basis.

Many struggle to meet needs of both their loved one and themselves.

Caregiving was always been rewarding yet difficult, even before COVID-19.

Powerful Tools for Care givers is an educational workshop series to provide tools caregivers need to better care for themselves, which reflects the increase in quality of care to the care recipient.

Through taking Power ful Tools for Caregivers, participants will learn how to reduce stress, improve self-confidence, better com municate feelings, find life balance, increase their abil ity to make tough decisions, locate helpful resources, and much more, all in the comfort of your own home.

Starting in early October, the Aging & Disability Re source Center (ADRC) of Southwest Wisconsin Green County Office and UW Ex tension Iowa County Office are partnering together to hold a Virtual Powerful Tools for Caregivers workshop to serve the region of South west Wisconsin and any oth er caregivers from across the country.

Classes consist of six, 1½

hour sessions held once a week. Two experienced and trained leaders conduct each class.

Interactive lessons, dis cussions, and brainstorming help you take the “tools” you choose to focus on that are applicable to your situation, and put them into action for your life.

Participants will receive a free copy of, ‘The Caregiver Helpbook’ – a resource guide used in Powerful Tools for Caregivers.

To be able to participate, you must have access to a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or computer with internet access or strong mobile data connection.

The leaders of this Power ful Tools for Caregivers se

ries will be offering a Zoom Practice Session on Friday, Sept. 30 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.

If this practice time and date does not work for you, we will work with you in dividually, if extra help is needed, in running the Zoom program and preparing you to feel comfortable enough to participate in the workshop.

Sessions are scheduled every Friday for six consec utive weeks, beginning Oct. 7 and running through Nov. 11. Classes will be held vir tually, via Zoom, from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. This program is free of charge.
