Fort Drum ACS Green Press Newsletter - September 2012 Tracey Jones
This document summarizes an article from the Army Community Service (ACS) newsletter about practicing resilience. It discusses how even resilience experts can slip from using resilience skills, as demonstrated through a story where the author lost her temper after her son's baseball bat was broken during a game. She was able to regain her composure by taking time to process her emotions and identify the underlying issues bothering her. The story illustrates that resilience must be continuously practiced, and that it is possible to get back on track even after faltering. The ACS offers many programs to help strengthen resilience for soldiers, families and the community.
The Family Readiness Group Leadership Symposium will be held on October 2nd, 2012 from 0900 to 1500 at The Commons on Fort Drum. The symposium is for FRG Advisors, Leaders, and Co-Leaders. The registration deadline if childcare is needed is September 7th, while the deadline if childcare is not needed is September 14th. Questions can be directed to Carrie Tate Meyer at 772-0084 or carrie.d.tatemeyer@us.army.mil.

- Leaving children unattended in vehicles, even for a short period of time, can result in serious injury or death due to accidents like gear-shifted crashes, heat stroke, or getting limbs caught.
- Fort Drum regulations prohibit leaving children under 5th grade unattended in vehicles and impose requirements for supervision of older children depending on their age and maturity level.
- Parents should never leave young children unattended in vehicles, not even for a quick errand, as the consequences of an accident could be tragic and irreversible.
