Dear Parenting with ACEs Community: I'm wondering if anyone has worked ACEs-related language into a School Council School Improvement Plan? I'm on the School Council for a charter school and we're looking at improving parent engagement., in general, and as part of that I'm trying to introduce two topics: 1) ACEs and 2)Race, Class & Parent Involvement We have kids from 30 different communities and 1/3 of the students are Haitian. The other 2/3 are mostly but not entirely Caucasian.

Does anyone have stats or data that shows how many or what percentage of parents with children 0-18 have ACEs of 4+? Either nationwide or by state. I would even take, how many/what percentage of children have parents with high ACEs... Thank you! Jocelyn

At our recent First 5 Humboldt (CA) we had an introduction to this approach for parenting "classes/meetings." I really liked the amount of time shared in the small groups delving into the questions we were presented with. www.humkids.org is the local F5 website. In the contact us section look for Meg Walkley or Beth Heavlin. They are the resident trainers for First 5 Humboldt and our 0-8 Mental Health Collaborative.

Hi Cissy, Yes, we were pleased with the event! We had a snow day on the original day of Part 1 and rescheduled it for the evening of Part 2, and then shifted Part 2 to the following week. We ended up having only about 1/3 of the participants who had RSVP'd, but I think that was largely due to the rescheduling that had to happen. We're looking forward to making some changes and scheduling it earlier next year to hopefully avoid the snow
