Community Presentations

Examples of Past Presentations
Hidden In Plain Sight
The teen years can be difficult. Indicators of teen drug use, mental health concerns, unhealthy relationships, and other risk factors can be hidden in plain sight, but easy for parents and other adults to miss. Join us to learn about current trends, how to increase protective factors and understand risk factors, as well as tips and resources for talking to youth about these important issues.
Paper Tigers
In this documentary by KPJR Films, follow six students over the course of a school year as a new trauma-sensitive program is implemented. Set within and around the campus of Lincoln Alternative High School in the rural community of Walla Walla, WA, Paper Tigers asks the following questions: What does it mean to be a trauma-informed school? And how do you educate teens whose childhood experiences have left them with a brain and body ill-suited to learn? The seed of hope: All of the risk factors—behavioral as well as physiological—can be offset by the presence of one dependable and caring adult. It doesn’t need to be the mother or the father. It doesn’t even need to be a close or distant relative.
More often than not, that stable, caring adult is a teacher.
