I have a long history of personal and professional experience with childhood trauma. In the past 12+ years, I have been doing childhood trauma training. A number of years ago I was was privileged to experience educating parents, in community forums, about ACEs and Resilience. I really wanted a second voice - a parent who could reflect, parent to parent, about their experience having had early trauma. I invited several folks to do this, and it was very difficult for them. Having a son who is a professional in the film industry, I asked him to work with me to create a short film that I could use for education and training. This 8 minute film, which I still use often, and has very good reviews, is on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUJHvbPrL0I
I also authored a children's book about homelessness a few years ago. I have read the book in a wide number of venues, and, my favorite has been in emergency shelters. I have found that the parents have found as much meaning and hope from the story as the children did! The book is titled 'A Quilt and a Home'. Pam W-E
