The future prosperity of any society depends on its ability to foster the health and well-being of the next generation. #BSBTN bit.ly/2SoJuxu

Tennessee benefits when citizens work with the public sector to maintain our way of life through careful stewardship of our public structures –whether law enforcement, highways, libraries, colleges or services for children.#BSBTN @BrainBuilders bit.ly/2twLzsx

July 27 has been named Parents Day! Let’s celebrate parents by supporting them in building the brains of the children who will build the future. bit.ly/2winTrx #Nuture #Community #BrainBuilder #BSBTN

It’s July 26, #Aunt and #Uncle Day. Children need caring adults. One caring adult can do much to build resilience and mitigate #ACEs. A community of caring adults is even better. #Community #BSBTN #BrainBuilder bit.ly/2Kof0Xp

Social determinates – economic stability, neighborhood, education, community, health care access – affect our ability to thrive. Our communities can join together so we all thrive. #TenesseansTogether #BSBTN bit.ly/2WAv2Uv

Our public systems must be stable to guarantee #Tennessee’s citizens can continue to look forward to a quality of life that provides the foundation for a healthy state. #BSBTN

Our communities are like construction contractors – each of us has something to contribute to building our communities and the #brains of the children in them. #BSBTN bit.ly/2WKSyOw

Good economies rely on an educated workforce. Growing #brains that are protected from Adverse Childhood Experiences (#ACEs) develop skills to achieve. #BSBTN

Children's #brains are being built from before birth through their mid-twenties. When we make sure communities have a full range of learning opportunities, we prepare children and youth to develop the skills they need to contribute to a better Tennessee.

Each of us contributes a part to build the community infrastructure that supports our community and children. Let’s work together! #BrainBuilder #BSBTN bit.ly/2Keolki

Each experience every child has builds #brain infrastructure. As a community we can work together to deliver meaningful experiences for all our children. #BSBTN bit.ly/2winTrx

Buildings are more stable and better able to withstand bad weather when they have a strong foundation. The same can be said about well-being. Communities with the strong social relationships and necessary resources and opportunities can weather the storm. #BrainBuilder #BSBTN

Adverse Childhood Experiences (#ACEs) hurt more than children; they hurt community health. #ACEs #BSBTN bit.ly/2SoJuxu

Adverse Childhood Experiences (#ACEs) cost us all through higher health care costs and lower productivity. One nurturing adult can mitigate the adverse childhood experiences’ effects. Let’s get together on this. #BSBTN bit.ly/2SoJuxu

When #Tennessee invests wisely in children and families, the next generation will pay that back through a lifetime of productivity and responsible citizenship. #BSBTN bit.ly/2Keolki
