Paper Tigers - Wisconsin Rapids and Marshfield
Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin
Community Services & the Wood County Health department
are proud to announce FREE showings of a powerful
documentary, Paper Tigers.
Paper Tigers
highlights research related to The Adverse Childhood Experiences study; which
demonstrates how trauma impacts development and increases issues related to
mental health, substance abuse, domestic violence, physical health, and early
death. The documentary focuses on one school’s radical solution to the
problem and how it impacted the students. The school has become a promising
model of how to break the cycles of poverty, violence and disease that affect
families through the practice of trauma-informed educational strategies and is
a testament to what the latest research on childhood adversity is proving:
that one caring adult can change the trajectory of a young person’s life.
Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin
Community Services and Wood County Health department are partnering together
for two showings in Wood County because many children served in our schools,
clinics, hospital and community based settings have experienced ACES which
directly impacts their health; ability to learn; overall well-being and impacts
our community’s health. Please join us for the documentary so we can
continue to find effective ways to meet the needs of our community.
