As much as we’d like to be able to protect our children from all of life’s hurts and disappointments, all parents know that someday our child will experience pain and frustration. Resilient children are able to “bounce back” from life’s traumas and emerge stronger, wiser and more personally powerful.
Our ability to cope with adversity , and to overcome it in a healthy way, is a fundamental skill related to success in virtually all areas of life. Affect regulation, the ability to cope with difficult emotions, has been linked to school performance, professional success, and the ability to have healthy relationships.
At this community lecture, attendees will learn about the research behind resiliency, in particular the importance of the parent-child bond. They will also learn techniques for building resiliency in their own children.
Dr. Ryan Smith is a clinical psychologist and training coordinator at CALM. He has over ten years of experience working with children who have experienced trauma. An expert in brain development, Dr. Smith has both practical and theoretical experience. In addition to his work at CALM, Dr. Smith is an adjunct faculty member in the Masters in Clinical Psychology program at Antioch University.

Silent Gala
Speak up for kids by staying home!
Rather than host a gala event, CALM is speaking up for kids by educating our community and holding our second annual I WILL NOT BE SILENT, Silent Gala. Instead of spending precious resources on a party, all proceeds from our silent gala will be used directly for the treatment and prevention of child abuse.
Thanks to a generous group of donors, we will be able to match every dollar raised during the month of April.

Adopt a Family
Some people think the holidays are just a calendar date, but to families with young children, this time of year means so much more. With the help of the community, CALM provided hundreds of children gifts, food and decorations during the 2011 holiday season through our Adopt-a-Family program. Many gave us toys, books and other gifts, but we also were able to provide essentials like blankets, coats and other wish-list items for families who are struggling to simply get by.
With the holidays just around the corner, CALM’s Adopt-a-Family initiative is gearing up for this year’s holiday season. These families have sought help from CALM and are currently receiving counseling services. CALM will find a family to match your interests and will provide you with sizes and a wish list. Through your help, the children and families we serve will feel the sense of belonging and care of our unique community. You can buy a specially selected present for your assigned family member or leave the shopping to us. Any contribution would be warmly welcomed.
This is a wonderful way to involve your family in the spirit of giving, or join up with a group of friends or co-workers to give together!

Adopt a Room
CALM’s therapy rooms are used by hundreds of children each year. A place to heal and grow, the rooms are filled with games, books, and therapeutic toys. Over the years, the games lose their pieces, the book spines crack and the toys break. Eight therapy rooms are looking for a little love, and a fresh set of supplies.
How you can help
1. Donate an item for a therapy room
2. Adopt an entire room (full set of games, books, and toys)
3. Donate funds towards refurbishing a therapy room
