All roads lead to resilience!

What does this mean?

The Children's Resilience Initiative™ (CRI) of Walla Walla is building the community's capacity to strengthen families. While ACEs -- adverse childhood experiences -- are devastating to one’s health, CRI has created a model of our community's services and roads to follow to build resilience. We are striving to help those affected and to prevent more ACES in our community. Resilience counters the damaging health effects of ACES.This site will show you how to follow the roads and build a thriving community.
