Hello friends,

I pray that each of you and your loved ones are safe and healthy. This historical time that we are currently living in has been such a roller coaster of emotions. We are seeing the horrible impact of the virus, yet we also see the common unity, or Community, working together to help us all get through this.

I felt compelled to give each of you, as financial supporters, a quick update on how ENP has shifted our work since March 13th when schools announced they would close due to COVID19.

How to Build Resilience? Trauma and Resilience Mini-Conference // February 22, 2020

March 6, 2020 andrewfeil Equipping

On February 22, 2020, the Fresno County Trauma and Resilience Network partnered with Every Neighborhood Partnership to bring awareness to the impact of childhood trauma in Fresno.

The vision behind these two mini-conferences is to gather community members to discuss and strategize ways to build connections between the health care system and other systems to better serve kids and families struggling with adverse conditions in their lives.

The first Trauma and Resilience Mini-Conference was held at the Butler Church and approximately 45 people — educators, mentors, parents, and students– were in attendance.
