I can’t believe that this month (…year…decade?!) is nearly over. Like many others this week, I’m doing a lot of reflecting about what I’m thankful for. In the month of November, our TISC team has had the privilege of talking to and learning from people across Kansas who care about building resilient residents, organizations, and communities. In a time when the world seems more than a little chaotic, intolerant, and just plain unkind – I’m grateful to be in a position to have witnessed the work being done by local governments in Kansas City, child care providers in Southeast Kansas, healthcare providers in Central Kansas and countless educators who are finding new ways to spread messages of hope and healing to anyone who will listen.

We would love to hear your stories of what you are grateful for or how becoming more trauma-responsive and resilience focused has influenced you, your families, and your community. Feel free to post your thoughts in the comment section below or send me a note and I’ll post it for you.

Thank you to all of you who are on this journey with us.  We a grateful for each and every one!
