Introducing the Transform Trauma with ACEs Science Film Festival & Follow-Up Discussions

 

Transform Trauma with ACEs Sciences Film Festival & Follow-Up Discussions
The following weekend watch parties and follow-up discussions are co-hosted by ACEs Connection, The Relentless School Nurse, and The Campaign for Trauma-Informed Policy & Practice (CTIPP). We appreciated the filmmakers for making these films free to watch for our members and for the public programming of PBS. The films we’ll feature are as follows:


These films are being shared because they focus on generational, historical, racial, and secondary trauma as well as individual, community, and systems healing and change. With the pandemic and collective efforts to address racial trauma and healing, we wanted to focus on how ACEs sciences can prevent and heal ACEs and inspire trauma-informed change supporting all communities and community members.

The dates, times, and streaming processes for participation are outlined below. We will post more about each film and webinar on ACEs Connection a few weeks before they air.
