MLS# 202125894 CHICKEN ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE MEALS IN Monica's MINUTES By Monica Sinclair How are your gardens coming? I never grow one be- cause I always end up killing everything. But I definite- ly love the produce that comes from gardens and usu- ally go to a local farm market to purchase what I need. One of my favorite vegetables is zucchini and I know a few different ways to prepare it, but I came across a cas- serole this week that contains it and I am excited to try it. It only has eight ingredients so it will be a breeze to assemble. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS • 1 package (6 ounces) stuffing mix • 3/4 cup butter, melted • 3 cups diced zucchini • 2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast • 1 can (10 -3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted • 1 medium carrot, shredded • 1/2 cup chopped onion • 1/2 cup sour cream DIRECTIONS 1. In a large bowl, combine stuffing mix and butter. Set aside 1/2 cup for topping. 2. Add the zucchini, chicken, soup, carrot, onion and sour cream to the remaining stuffing mixture. 3. Transfer to a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with reserved stuffing mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 350° until golden brown and bubbly, 40 -45 minutes.

Accord- ing to the CDC, 61 percent of adults in the United States endured an adverse child- hood experience in their youth. Child- hood trauma comes in a variety of forms. It can be caused by divorced or incarcer- ated parents, death of a parent or care- taker, physical/emotional/sexual abuse, substance abuse in the home, mental ill- ness and poverty. Why does this matter? Adverse child- hood experiences can affect short-term and long-term physical and emotional health. Childhood trauma also negative- ly affects development. Children who ex- perience toxic stress on a continuous ba- sis cannot develop properly without the help and intervention of caring adults. In short, when we experience pro- longed toxic stress in childhood such as abuse, neglect, or domestic violence, our brains cannot thrive and grow. Unfortu- nately, if these problems are not treat- ed, they can eventually lead to signifi- cant physical and mental health prob- lems later in life. Children who have experienced trau- ma are in a constant battle with their physiological flight/fight/freeze re- sponse. Many children who experience this do not have parents or adults at home to help them feel safe. These children need adults or trusted authority figures outside of their home to help give them a sense of safety and security. Schools are uniquely positioned to play an important role in a child's life. Teach- ers, school administrators, social work- ers and school staff have the opportuni- ty to be role models for students if they don't have positive influences at home. Children who have just one positive adult in their life are much more likely to thrive and be resilient later in life. Now that we know childhood trauma is a serious and pervasive problem in Amer- ica, it is important to know how to miti- gate the damage. I recently completed an excellent training on Trauma Informed Resilient Schools by STARR Common- wealth. In the training, they recommend- ed steps to take into the classroom to help students with trauma. STARR recommends providing stu- dents with security, structure, and con- sistency to minimize anxiety and reduce instances of flight/fight response in stu- dents. When students are in a flight/ fight/freeze response, they cannot fo- cus on learning. STARR noted that stu- dents test better and teachers have more job satisfaction when trauma protocols are in place. If students have a positive environ- ment at school, it helps them weather the storms of their personal lives. Hav- ing rituals and routines that make stu- dents feel connected and welcome at school increases their engagement with- in a healthy environment. It is also im- portant for adults to be aware of possi- ble triggers that students could be hav- ing in the classroom in response to noise, raised voices, or lack of structure. I am hopeful that although trauma is a significant problem in our culture, adults and educators can have a significant im- pact on children's lives by being nurtur- ing and emotionally available to children in need.
