Lunch With Purpose: Thriving Kids - Changing the Story of Trauma

Join us for this FREE event focused on Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) and their role in healthy child development. This session will give parents, caregivers, and professionals 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 small, everyday actions can create lasting impact.
During this session, you will learn about:
- Key types of positive experiences that support emotional and social growth
- Simple ways to strengthen connection and trust with children
- Strategies to create stability and a sense of belonging at home and in youth-serving settings
- Real-life examples 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.
