Trauma Informed Congregations - A Strategy Document

Myself and another Master Trainer have presented information on ACEs to a small group of people at a...

Worth Forwarding - "Caught between the Amygdala and a Hard Place" - by Karyn Purvis, Ph.D. & David Cross, Ph.D.

Steven Dahl ·
As so many disturbing and traumatic events involving children have been covered by the media recently - it caused me to reflect on my own journey of becoming trauma-informed. Now that I know what I know, I cannot view such stories in a trauma- un informed way. I've found myself in discussions with others who may, or may not be, trauma-informed. It turns out this one factor predictably correlates with the type of conversation that ensues around any topic covered by the media where children...

Kimberly T Konkel ·
Please help us engage people in the critical conversation about mental health and substance use disorder parity. President Obama created the Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Parity Task Force in March 2016 to focus key federal agencies on ensuring that Americans receive the coverage and treatment they need.

I think ALL who share a concern about ACEs, regardless of our personal score, have a contribution to make to this endeavor. I remember learning of a SAMHSA meeting about "Lived Experience" which was about to be convened, and there were no Consumer Survivor "Seats at the Table", and an ally in Washington, D.C. went to a few members of Congress who wrote the DHHS Secretary, requesting seats at the table for Consumers/Survivors/Persons with Lived Experience/Person's at risk of becoming a...

Re: Examples of churches, temples, synagogues, mosques, and other faith communities practicing child trauma prevention and intervention?

"Bruised Reeds and Smoldering Wicks" a study for churches It's already being utilized in 28 different states and the District of Columbia, and it may be the best resource for introducing your congregation to the biblical and theological reasons to consider "trauma-informed ministry." Written by Intermountain's own...

Dave Lockridge ·
ACE Overcomers has been at the forefront of the faith-based trauma-informed movement. We train pastors, laymen, law enforcement officers, social, behavioral, and mental health workers in many states. My curriculum, "Overcoming a Difficult Childhood" is used across the states, into Canada, D.R. Congo, and Uganda. Additionally we have a secular program, "Building Healthy Life Skills" (TM) used in high schools and jails. Both programs have been studied by University of California Merced and...

RE James Sisson post: Hello James, I would like to learn more of what you are doing and maybe help you spread the word about what you are learning. I'm a retired doctor who now has a ministry called Serenity and Health. It is so clear that ACEs contribute to much suffering, and I believe faith communities can be a source of great healing. But, I think we all need to know more. Maybe I can write about your work or interview you. Please be in touch at dc@serenityandhealth.com . My website is...
