Yesterday, PCANV attended the BLEEH Thank You Luncheon in Reno, and we left feeling incredibly grateful for the people in our community who continue to show up for children and families. 💙

Events like the Biggest Little Easter Egg Hunt and Resource Fair (BLEEH) do so much more than create a fun day for kids. They highlight the importance of Child Abuse Prevention and help create positive childhood experiences for ALL children.

Did you know BLEEH offers an adaptive egg hunt for children with disabilities or sensory sensitivities? 🐣🌷

And did you know they have a calm room where children, and anyone who needs it, can take a break, relax, and regulate throughout the event?

These thoughtful efforts are a beautiful reminder of what ALL kids deserve: safety, care, inclusion, and love. ❤️

We are so proud of the incredible work of Tiffanie Story, Anne Garlow, and the many amazing agencies, organizations, volunteers, and community members who come together to make BLEEH happen year after year.

Because Child Abuse Prevention happens when EVERYONE in our community steps up to help create safe, stable, and nurturing environments where ALL children can grow, learn, and thrive.

Thank you, BLEEH, for showing our community what it looks like when we come together for kids! 💙

🌱¿Has oído sobre los ACEs? ¿Sabías que las experiencias de la infancia pueden influir en nuestro bienestar a lo largo de la vida?

Las Experiencias Adversas en la Infancia (ACEs) son situaciones difíciles que pueden ocurrir durante los primeros años y que pueden afectar la salud, el aprendizaje y el bienestar de los niños 🧠

Pero hay algo muy importante que recordar: las experiencias positivas y las relaciones de apoyo también pueden marcar una gran diferencia🤝🌱

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Un adulto que escucha y acompaña
💬 Un espacio donde los niños puedan expresar sus emociones
❤️ Relaciones seguras y afectuosas
🏡 Entornos estables y de apoyo

Estas conexiones pueden ayudar a los niños a desarrollar herramientas para enfrentar los desafíos y crecer de manera saludable💛

🌟Prevenir y reducir el impacto de las experiencias adversas comienza por crear relaciones y entornos en los que los niños se sientan seguros, escuchados y apoyados.
