Movie: "Healing Neen" followed by a short discussion
(This documentary is unrated and is about one hour in length)
“After surviving a childhood of abuse and neglect, Tonier “Neen” Cain lived on the streets for two nightmarish decades, where she endured unrelenting violence, hunger and despair while racking up 66 criminal convictions related to her addiction. Incarcerated and pregnant in 2004, treatment for her lifetime of trauma offered her a way out... and up. Her story illustrates the consequences that untreated trauma has on individuals and society at-large, including mental health problems, addiction, homelessness and incarceration. Today, she is a nationally renowned speaker and educator on the devastation of trauma and the hope of recovery.”

Dogs don’t read…but they love a good story.
Wagging Tales introduces children to a four-legged friend…and then the magic begins. Each child selects a fun book to read to his/her new doggie pal. Tails wag as tales are told and each child practices his/her reading skills to a new friend who loves a good story and won’t criticize or interrupt. In addition to a wonderfully supportive reading experience, each child is rewarded with a new book to keep.
