Trauma Informed Congregations - A Strategy Document

Dale Fletcher ·
Hi Folks, I have recently been trained as an ACE Master Trainer through the Children's Trust of South Carolina . In the training we received materials from ACE Interface . My special interest is working with churches and ministries to educate and equip them to be better trauma-informed and to increase the resilience of members of their congregation and of the communities members they serve. Myself and another Master Trainer have presented information on ACEs to a small group of people at a...

Re: Anyone working on Jewish approaches to ACEs and Resilience?

Denice Colson ·
HI Marilyn, I have developed a 3 phase, 12 stage model that is spiritually integrated to addresses trauma, including ACEs. I've published, "Break Every Stinking Chain! Healing for Hidden Wounds" which is available on Amazon.com. I also offer training for providers who want to offer the book/workbook in their community for Phase 1 and for counselors who want to offer Phases 2 & 3. I spend a lot of time on ACEs in my book and included an assessment I developed, The Simple Trauma Source...

Hi LauraLee and thanks for reaching out. From years of study and application from my own personal journey and battles, I use the holy scriptures from their Hebraic root interpretation according to Yah commands to teach about healing and resiliency; which is not a Jewish or any other religious message but simple a divine truth for all of His creation - it's for everyone who believes. The heavenly Father doesn't hide His plan to recovery from past hurts from His children, learning to trust in...

Thank you for your prompt reply. I have my own journey that took me to the Hebraic Roots of His Word. I have worked as a substance abuse counselor and have attended 12 step meetings for many years due to my own addictions. I found the ACE study through working as a TRIAD Women's Project case manager. I would love to converse further with you on how to reach the Messianic Community. Yah has put me on Hebrew Nations Radio Online. My program is called Healing for the Nations with A Modern Day...

Hi Marilyn, I'm new to the ACEs Connect and wanted to respond to your request. I'm developing a spiritual based approach to ACEs through a messianic message. I have not published anything yet because I'm still receiving from the Most High and working with a small group using the spiritual strategies to healing physically and mentally before releasing it publicly. If you're interested, I would love to continue the conversation.

Hi Chris, I recently ran into an old acquaintance, who's now working at the National Center for PTSD, where their database has just about any known assessment instrument, probably with some notes about its efficacy. While his project is separate from the Library & Database, he may very well be able to be of some help. I noticed, after I started this note, that you included your email address at the bottom of your note. I'll try to send you particulars. In the meantime, If you go to their...

Re: Presenting to my congregation

Cynthia Thelen ·
Hi Dale! It did not happen. A volunteer staff person had a bit of a meltdown and is, quite frankly, is choosing to not see ACES as causation. She was unwilling to hear any of what she calls, "excuses". There was an ugly confrontation in a meeting.....Anyway, that is being dealt with but after that explosion, we decided to hold on presenting to the entire congregation, and I will now focus on developing a 4-6 week curriculum for our participants. I'm evaluating which games to order from CRI...

Hi Dale, thank you so much for sharing your PowerPoint. I have been talking to my pastor and church and I am preparing to help my church become trauma-informed.

Re: Child abuse can be found in every culture and religion

Hi Dave, There is research that shows the more conservative the religion, the more frequent the incidence of incest. I found this hard to believe at first, but as the years went on and it was accepted on all levels, I have come to understand it better. In the first years, researchers thought it might be related to" all the taboos conservatives place on sex". That view was written in several articles I read back then. More lately, it has become to be linked to the concept of male-headship,...

Hi Linda, Thank you for sharing about your DC4.org program and congratulations on the 10 anniversary of this wonderful program. I will do a little researching today on faith based trauma informed programs and how other faith based groups have been successful with getting other churches to learn about trauma and maybe even implementing a program of their own. I'll be sure to share what I find. Best, Jasmine Pettis Information Specialist ACEsConnection.com

Hi Cyndi, I appreciate that you're doing this for your church! I recently created a more complete presentation on ACES from a biblical perspective. I used slides from ACE Interface and added several of my own that were related to scriptural principles and our shared Christian faith. If it would help I could share more with you. In Christ, Dale

Hi Laura, I am a member of ACE Connections. I saw your post on making presentations to Faith Based communities. I am wondering how it is going, if you researched presentations or curriculum? Anything you can share would be helpful to me in my passion to inform churches about ACEs. My Best, Roxy Foster

Hi there! SO happy I found this faith-based ACE resource! I am putting together a simple basic presentation for a local congregation and I wanted to speak on creating a safe trauma-informed congregation. I was directed to this ACE faith-based focus. Could I use some of your work and of course, give credit where it is due? I am also putting together a resource list. Do you have any suggestions for faith-based books? I do not know many faith-based books for trauma survivors. Thank you!
