Hello! I am Sandra a new member. I wish to know how to register for 3 days conference from July 30 to August 2, 2019 at Jefferson? Sandra

This forum will house updates from the Philadelphia ACE Taskforce (PATF) and the designated working groups to further the goals of the Philadelphia ACE Taskforce. History In April 2012, the Institute for Safe Families (ISF) formed the Philadelphia Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Task Force to develop policies, practices, and research within pediatric settings that mitigate conditions arising from toxic stressors and ACEs (adverse childhood experiences) and that increase the health and...

Hello, everyone! Hopeworks N Camden is embarking on formal academic study of the difference that our implementation of Trauma Informed Care has had on our outcomes with youth. We are lucky in that we have strong "before" and "after" datasets. Natasha Fletcher, of the Center for Urban Research and Education, is leading the study.

I only recently (3 months) heard about the original ACEs study. From there, I attended an Urban ACEs Task Force meeting as part of the Scattergood Foundation and began taking a class with Dr. Sandy Bloom at Drexel's School of Public Health called Violence, Trauma and Adversity. The reason I joined the Philadelphia ACEs Connection Group is to continue to educate myself on the subject and by that I mean how can we inform others to become trauma informed and resilient? I'm not sure if I'll...

Thanks for the reply, Jane. Actually, Tim Clement will be presenting about stigma and ACEs at my organization, Philadelphia Legal Assistance, later this month. We are targeting the non-Family Law advocates, specifically. Following Tim's presentation, the supervising attorney of the Family Law Unit, who has some expertise on trauma, will lead a discussion on what strategies PLA's Family Law advocates currently employ to meet the needs of clients who have experienced trauma and encourage the...
