Adverse Childhood Experiences and Resilience: Resources
This fall the Community Foundation for Kingston & Area released its report on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and what is being called the “public health crisis of our time”. ACEs are negative and traumatic childhood events that are now associated with many lasting physical and mental health risks. The full report can be found at https://www.cfka.org/ACEs.
KFPL has pulled together a list resources that address the issue of childhood trauma. View it here.
Fall refresh
Our Arden Branch will be freshened up this month with new flooring and shelves. The branch will be closed starting Thursday, October 10, and we expect to reopen on Tuesday, October 22. Our branches in Sharbot Lake, Mountain Grove and Parham look forward to welcoming our Arden patrons during the renovations.
