Erin, I would suggest you consult with the child's trauma therapist. Any child that has a trauma history should (and would greatly benefit) from having a "Trauma Trigger Management Plan." Avoiding triggers creates a fine line to walk. In a classroom setting - I think it's very important to avoid triggers - in a personal confidential and therapeutic setting - where a child may want help processing a trigger - is a different scenario but should only be addressed by a team working with that...

Hello everyone, I am going to add a link to what I like to use. I am clearly biased as I work for another branch of the same company. We are not mandated however to utilize but I do integrate this workbook with other materials which target other relevant topics for my populations. The workbook I use seems to cover many of the topics highlighted. There is also a manual. NeuroLogic® Workbook: You Can Change Your Mind by Kathy Van Horn Hopefully this helps. Heloise

Re: PPT for High School Students explaining ACEs
Thanks so much for your replies, ladies! I have been told it is appropriate and that it is not appropriate to discuss ACEs with teens. As I stated, I am working with kids in a residential treatment program for drugs and alcohol as a teacher, not a counselor. These poor kids do not always choose this destiny as it is bestowed upon them. With their brains functioning differently, I feel it is important for them to know why and work to find ways to deal with their individual strengths and...

Hi Robbyn, I am just now seeing this post... I can give you an idea of what's happening in Athens. We have a pretty active group working on a collaborative impact model to help Athens become a TIC. You can see info on the community summit here: http://a2aathens.weebly.com/the-summit.html You can also see all of the stakeholders who were involved in the Summit-- it's a diverse group . The primary convener is the Family Connections-Communities in Schools folks. It was one of their action...

Re: Guest speaker for professional development?
Hi Amber, A teacher colleague of mine and I, a family doctor, have presented about ACEs, Resilience and Trauma-Informed Approaches to the entire West Shore School District (near Harrisburg) professional staff, along with the film Resilience, which you would have to get through Tugg (or you could use Paper Tigers, also from Tugg). It was a 3 hour program and was very well received. I would be happy to discuss further with you. We have also presented summer professional development seminars to...

Re: PPT for High School Students explaining ACEs
Hi all, I think Paper Tigers would be appropriate for most teens--I would say 13 and up, but that is just my guess. I would suggest a brief intro about about the movie, letting people they can and should step out/stay safe as needed and then show the movie with a debrief afterwards. In central Maine, where I was visiting, this was shown in many high schools and I saw many high school students attending and participating (one group even made dinner for the attendees). We, in the Harrisburg...

Re: What do you think, is a 6th SEL core competency needed?
Corrected Thesis; ACE's Knowledge and Awareness is a POWERFUL Therapy that delivers proven effective Therapeutic Healing in and of Itself. Simply knowing of ACE's and of one's own score is healing above any therapeutic intervention currently in use, to the best of my knowledge - odd as this might sound to those whose livings are made providing such therapies - not that these are not also beneficial - but the numbers speak for themselves I think. Dr. Nadine Burke-Harris has published some...

Re: Studies Regarding ACEs and Students' Academic Success
Hi Sami, I will do some looking around but often proxy data is used since direct academic achievement success can be tricky at the individual level. Some of the proxy data may be increased attendance (which we know leads to improved academics) or discipline rates, teacher attendance and retention, and other metrics that DO have research behind them that does connect directly to academics. Here is a blog I wrote about it and a document attached to it that I created for SAMHSA,...

Research Question for ACEs in public school
Hello, everyone! I am in need of some assistance. I am working on a study and need to find a medium to large public school district in California that uses ACEs to assess students for trauma. I would prefer to work with middle and high schools, but I am deep in this work and hit a snag. If you are in such a district, or know of one, please let me know. Thank you!

I'd like to read this book. I like different genres, which allows me to learn more information in different areas. I haven't had much time for books lately. Now I'm preparing a research project, and it takes a lot of time. I decided to find this sample, and it helped me. Examples of work on the topic I needed helped me better understand everything, and I hope to prepare properly.
