Hi Marni, I have been asked to give a presentation on ACEs/Toxic Stress and Trauma Informed Care to the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti Child Abuse Concil. I have given several talks on ACEs and Toxic Stress. I do them for free or just ask (if it is possible) a small fee to cover gas, hotel and a day or two in the kennel for my dogs. I was asked by the Great Start Collaborative via the school psychologist to go to the last meeting in Alpena but I couldn't figure out the time or date. So I missed it. I...

The ACEs study has shown the detrimental effects of trauma and how it creates the most vulnerable and marginalized adults in our community. However, even adults can "heal" from trauma due to the plasticity of the brain. Our ACEs initiatives MUST involve prevention, but also treatment for older children and adults. One form of "treatment" is having one, positive, stable relationship. The article below illustrates how connecting adults with a positive mentor-like person is transforming medical...

Hi Fellow ACE prevention and Community Resilience Building Advocates across the state of Michigan. I have some basic questions.

We need to develop "curriculum" or "training" (I put these words in...

Hello Everyone! I was introduced to the ACEs connection this year while living in Rochester on my post-doc. I can hardly wait to graduate this summer from WMU's Counseling Psychology Program. I have really enjoyed being part of the community here, where there is a lot of ways to be involved in TIC coalitions and learning collaboratives. I am wondering if there are any active members in this group who are aware of groups in Michigan. Specifically, I am going to be moving back to Kalamazoo so...
