A Day of Recognition

I wanted to ask the community about organizing an event and dedicating a day each year that would support victims and loved ones who have experienced trauma, toxic stress, and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE's). The day would be designed to reflect, heal, be kind, and offer local resources to children and their families.

We need to reach out, advocate, and bring more awareness to this topic. Maybe a Day of Recognition would help us achieve this goal. We could create countless opportunities to support victims and make progress to prevent, treat, and heal our communities.

Great idea! I wonder if there are any others here on ACN, that can share their experiences with planning and hosting an event that focuses on the community - in a gathering focused on healing?

In Northern California, a Be Kind Napa event was held in July 2017!

Each November 13th the UK celebrates World Kindness Day! Click here for more information: Kindness UK

I think you're onto something good! Please keep the ACEs Connection Network members informed of your progress! Who knows, maybe we could get a ripple effect that travels across counties / states / and more!
