Hello: I'm a recent MPH graduate who is interested in working on ACEs. The more I learn about the effects of trauma and chronic stress, the more it changes my worldview and makes me want to do something about it. Part of the reason why I moved to California in 2019 was to get involved in the incredible work that you're doing around ACEs. I'm currently living in Sacramento and working in contact tracing, but would appreciate any advice that you can offer to help me find a career path in the...

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!

Mind Matters: Overcoming Adversity and Building Resilience was added to the Los Angeles Department of Mental Health Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) list in May. Being on the list allows contractors in LA County to use MHSA funds to purchase the program materials when working with their populations to address trauma and reduce toxic stress. LADMH had previously included Love Notes on their PEI list as well.

Hi all- I'm curious about anyone has connected with their local district to provide SEL or other mental health supports to address the tsunami of student trauma. We have developed an ESSER Toolkit to help organizations learn about ESSER and reach out to their schools. I've heard of other states starting to push out RFPs but I've not heard anything about California. Thanks!

Hello, I am in California and my district created one and then two additional FTE positions for Coordinators of Trauma Informed School Practices where we focus on SEL, wellness, and environments; all three positions are funded through ESSER. Hope this helps.
