I wanted to share information on two upcoming events that CommonHealth ACTION is hosting next week in celebration of our 10th anniversary:

Following the screening, Erima Fobbs, CommonHealth ACTION's Director of Public Health Programs, will lead a lively discussion to explore the traumatic impact of poverty and violence on children in some of our inner cities and what we can potentially do to address these concerns. Light refreshments will be served. Please RSVP by July 18. See invitation below for more information.

Community Conversations   As we celebrate 10 years of public health work, CommonHealth ACTION invites you to join us for a private screening of WOUNDED PLACES: Confronting Childhood PTSD in America's Shell-Shocked Cities    CommonHealth ACTION's Director of Public Health Programs, Erima Fobbs, will lead a lively discussion  to explore the traumatic impact of poverty and violence on children in some of our inner cities and what we can potentially do to address these concerns. Light refreshments will be served!   Photo: Wounded Places Too many of our children, especially children of color in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty, are exposed to adversity, violence, neglect and other forms of trauma and show symptoms similar to PTSD. Traveling to Philadelphia and Oakland, this episode asks not "What's wrong with you?" but rather, "What happened to you?" and how can we help individuals and traumatized neighborhoods heal.   Wounded Places is an unreleased segment of the new  California Newsreel Documentary titled   The Raising of America: Early Childhood and the Future of Our Nation   WHEN: Tuesday, July 22, 2014 From 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm   WHERE: NATIONAL OFFICE 1301 Connecticut Ave., NW, Suite 200 Washington, DC 20036       RSVP NOW       Forward this email STAY CONNECTED
