"Resilience" set for 'sneak preview' streaming April 10….

 

…And this 'sneak preview' is for ACEsConnection members only! So if you have friends, family or co-workers who want to see Resilience, a documentary that looks at the birth of the CDC-Kaiser Permanente Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study and how it spawned a movement across the world, please ask them to join our network by going to ACEsConnection.com and clicking on Join Now! Or, you can invite them to join -- here’s how.

The event is set for 6 p.m. PDT (3 p.m. HAST, 5 p.m. AKDT, 7 p.m. MDT, 8 p.m. CDT, 9 p.m. EDT) Sunday, April 10, 2016. (For people outside the U.S., that’s 1 a.m. GMT). The documentary is about an hour long. 

A few days before the event, we will be emailing all members an access code to use that Sunday night. You’ll be able to use it from your desktop, laptop, tablet, mobile…however you access the Internet….and watch the film on your preferred device.   

The documentary features trailblazers in pediatrics, education, and social welfare who are using cutting-edge science and field-tested therapies and approaches to protect children from the damaging effects of toxic stress and the dark legacy of a childhood that no one would choose. It shows that, although the broader impacts of poverty worsen the risk of ACEs, no segment of society is immune. 

In the weeks following the “sneak preview”, we plan on scheduling text chats on ACEsConnection with some of the people featured in the film. We’ll keep you posted! 

This “sneak preview” will help you decide about — as well as garner interest in — scheduling a screening for your community. Beginning in August, Resilience will be available for screenings at conferences and in communities, and will be distributed through TUGG.

Here's the Resilience trailer:

It is good to see how decisions makers -- in HHS, in the courts, in our faith commuities and increasingly in our shcools -- are slowly coming to admit that the "old way" of throwing money at reactive responses is not working, and that effective early preventive interventions will save the brains and lives of countless children.  

It is exactly ten years since NACoA (Natl Assn for Children of Alcoholics) brought Dr. Robert Anda to Washington and hosted a forum introducing the ACE Study and discussing again the importance of prevention and intervention startegies to foster resilience.  

It is good to see the understanding and appreciation of this important work in today's decisionmakers.  We're looking forward to next month's screening.
