Earlier this week, the LA County Department of Mental Health informed us that our program Mind Matters: Overcoming Adversity and Building Resilience had been approved as a Prevention and Early Intervention Model for community outreach services. Some ACEs Aware grantees are interesting in using it in their community networks of care.

Mind Matters’ lessons teach people aged 12 and up to heal from Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and other negative experiences with innovative methods based on current research and neuroscience. These skills give individuals a way to take charge of their emotions and improve their states of mind. Participants learn to address their physical, relational, and mental health needs. It can be taught by paraprofessionals in the community to groups or individuals.
