Parenting with ACEs Resources: Power Sharing & Sharing Powerfully

Christine Cissy White ·
Sharing as a trauma survivor, parent (via adoption), writer, and advocate, I'm going to detail what I find crucial in any program or perspective geared towards those currently parenting with ACEs. Most important, is that any program be survivor and peer-led (or co-led). If that's the only change done, it's a good one. Who shares content, and how, is as important as the content being shared.

I am making it a blog post in case others missed it or are overwhelmed, as I have been, by sifting through the information coming at us. The home page lets you easily find practices for calming.

Eight years later, the original group has evolved into the Greater Richmond Trauma-Informed Community Network (GRTICN) with 495 people and 170 organizations. And they're just scratching the surface.

How Strongly Does ACE Affect One’s Physical and Mental Health?

Former Member ·
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) leave different kinds and levels of mental or physical trauma on each individual. Physical child abuse may leave kids needing the services of a reliable pediatric surgeon . Some children may need help from a facial plastic surgery specialist to address self-esteem issues caused by facial scars. Some ACEs may require long-term therapy sessions. Despite their therapeutic benefits, the best essential oils for anxiety can only do so much when dealing with...

Parenting to Prevent & Heal ACEs Handout

Natalie Audage ·
This handout is based on the work of Donna Jackson Nakazawa , who worked with us and generously allowed us to paraphrase content from her book, Childhood Disrupted: How Your Biography Becomes Your Biology & How You Can Heal . Donna's book specifically addresses those of us parenting with ACEs (which she also does brilliantly in the powerful documentary, Wrestling Ghosts , which is about parenting and healing from ACEs). This handout can be downloaded, distributed, and used freely. It is...
