Beyond Trauma: Building Resilience to ACEs (brochure)

Christine Cissy White · 9/5/1712:34 PM

Wish you had a fairly easy and short way to share all about ACEs? Wish it was in-depth enough to share with teachers, doctors, nurses and therapists but not so long or jargony it puts family and friends to sleep? Here's the perfect thing to share when you've been all up in the faces with ACEs and want to back up your words before, during or after. This brochure is comprehensive but not so long that it remains in the "I'll get to it later," pile. Please feel free to print, forward, download...

Christine Cissy White · 1/20/1710:56 AM

At least once a week I struggle about what to share here. This is my most recent example. It's a series of tips on the U.S. Department of Education . These are great hand-outs with comprehensive information about child development that's not too long, abstract or hard to read. Here's the list (also attached below). I especially like the flyer for talking about feelings which has the tag line "Talking is teaching." And the short summary of milestones at different ages and stages from birth to...

Split: Divorce Resource (www.split.org) & Commentary

Christine Cissy White · 11/4/166:39 AM

"When I'm with my Mom I miss my Dad. When I'm with my Dad I miss my Mom. I'm always missing someone." Katie, my cousin said those words when she was not yet in first grade. It was heartbreaking and sad. When my daughter's Dad and I divorced, my daughter wasn't as emotional, at first. When we told her that her Dad and I were separating, and assured her, "It's not your fault," she said words I'll never forget. "Why would it be my fault?" She thought that was ridiculous and silly. That was a...

Christine Cissy White · 10/28/169:04 AM

This is a brief, informative and accessible hand-out. It doesn't talk about ACEs but it does talk about traumatic stress and helps educate adoptive and foster parents, in particular. However, I think it's useful as a general guide. Excerpt: In my dream world, there would be a resources such as this for those of us Parenting After ACEs and with traumatic stress symptoms.

Christine Cissy White · 7/18/167:22 AM

There are some great hand-outs, available for free, for non-commercial use which talk about self-regulation vs. self-control. Some are geared towards teachers but they are useful for parent as well. And honestly, they are useful for adults as well as children. I like the way words like safety are explained and how simple some of the approaches are. For example, in "Understanding Stress Behavior for Teachers" the "Tips to Deal with Stress Behavior" are as follows: Figure out and reduce the...

Rick Hanson: Practical Tips on Neuro-Plasticity that Don't Require a PhD

Christine Cissy White · 7/1/1612:50 PM

Rick Hanson has a series of free podcast talks, Being Well , on Soundcloud which are excellent. He combines science, spirituality and the power of simple storytelling. His podcasts are informative, educational and also interesting. Though they aren't geared specifically towards trauma survivors or parents, I've found them helpful. They have done more to help me understand why and how mindfulness is healing than most anything. Plus, they help me learn more about human nature in general which...
