International Footprint Assn: (John E Parker) Chapter # 11

The January 8, 2019 meeting was

held at Yosemite Falls on Blackstone

north of Shaw Avenue.

Executive Director Chaplin Rod

Lowery Fresno Police Department

Chaplaincy. Chaplin Lowery explained

the program has now grown to budget

that no one could have foreseen when

the program began 8 years ago. The

Resiliency Center is located on N Ful-

ton Avenue at LaSalle where a building

was recently purchased.

Today the program has numerous

chaplains and office staff working with

community partners as they outreach to

Fresno Unified School District inspir-

ing resiliency in the next generation.

There are Chaplains working in the

schools with children from First grade through Sixth grades. The program al-

so is starting to work with schools of

Psychology allowing those in need of

or seeking counseling to have access to

free private guidance.

The program sought a publication to

assist children understand, Impulse

Control, Emotional Regulation, Self-

efficacy, Causal Analysis, Empathy,

Optimism, and the Bounce Back Bud-

dies color book was born.

The illustration was completed by:

Ernie Hergenroeder. The color book

guide had an introduction from Chief

Jerry Dyer.

“Police officer are here to protect

you and to keep you safe. Whenever

you are afraid, do not be afraid to ask

them for help.

Make sure you take your time and

understand each message. We want

you to begin by choosing your friends

wisely and to stay in control of your

emotions. That means don’t lose your

temper and do something you will be

sorry for. Stop and think before you

respond. We also want you to work

with friends to solve problems and

overcome the challenges of life togeth-

er.

It is also important for you to be

kind to other people and show you care

about them. Everyone needs a friend

when they are going through rough

times. And last, we want you to think

of yourself in a positive way and do not

allow other people to control your emo-tions or make you think you are not

special.

You are very special to me and

God. And remember, police officers

are your friends, and so am I.”

The program has been so successful

that agencies from around the country

are seeking information, and guidance.

International Footprint Association

check for $500 to assist with the pro-

gram.

Dear Weldon,

Thank you for your recent $500 donation for the Resiliency Center of the Fresno PoliceChaplaincy. We are so grateful for your support!

We are excited about the opportunities we will have to impact lives through this newprogram. We will daily search calls for service involving children exposed to a traumaticevent. Within 72 hours of that crisis, a member of our Trauma Response Team will meetwith these children and their families to assess their needs, offer counseling and providelinkage to community resources.

Because of your gift, we will be able to intervene in the lives of ten children and theirfamilies.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity and your partnership.
