More clips from our Mifflin County Library Creative Minds Night ๐ŸŒ™ ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“•

The phrase "Conversations that Matter" comes to mind. Part of my reasoning for researching and producing content on the topic of childhood trauma is to spark Conversations that Matter with different types of people.

I loved that this was a multi generational group - trauma and mental health (culturally) has changed throughout recent decades. Older generations view it differently than younger generations - and yet, we all know or have family members who have endured serious trauma.

Cheers to more learning and discussions in the future ๐Ÿค“ ๐Ÿง

Grateful to share my writing journey with patrons at the Mifflin County Library - a spot I frequented as a kid ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I am even more grateful for the thought provoking questions and discussion the patrons had. The reason I do this work is to start meaningful conversations that hopefully lead to change over time - a healthier and healed world ๐ŸŒŽ The moderator had to cut our time because we could have kept chatting the way we were for another hour!

P.S. the library is looking for authors and musicians to share their craft for anyone who is interested. Let us celebrate our local writers and artists ๐Ÿฅณ

Join me at our very own Mifflin County Library on Tuesday to learn about how I became started as a self-published author, as well as my inspiration for writing to help contribute to a healthier and more loving world ๐Ÿ’•

I will be donating a copy of my book to the library as well as offering some for purchase (Cash, Check, or Venmo accepted).

Im extra excited to partake in this event because my mother took me to Mifflin County Library every Saturday for the children's program before I could even speak ๐Ÿ“š. Reading new books was one of my favorite activities as a child (and it still is today ๐Ÿค“). In addition to reading on my own, my mother read to me every night for many years, starting with simple Dr. Seuss books all the way through chapter books such as the Boxcar Children, The Magic Treehouse, and Junie B. Jones.

I love books! I love reading! And I love our local library!

๐Ÿšฉโ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฑA must-read from my doctoral school colleague Marti Smith! Teachers, support staff, therapists etc should pick this up on Amazon ๐Ÿ˜ƒ school is the main location where most of our traumatized kiddos will ever receive services (and more importantly safe connection with adults) due to family, community, or financial barriers ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ’ก

๐Ÿ“ฃResearch in the development of resilience for traumatized children has shown that school is one of the main places that can act as a buffer against the negative lifelong effects of household trauma (meaning, someone can experience astronaumical amounts of trauma but positive connections and experiences in school with adults and peers can offset a lot of the negativity - and this effect lasts throughout the person's lifetime - how cool is that ๐Ÿ˜€)

P.S. I am always inspired by classmates who help develop our field. Bravo ๐Ÿ‘
