Building a Trauma Informed Nation

Many in Sacramento attended the Building A Trauma-Informed Nation webcast on September 29-30 to learn how they could move the conversation around ACEs and trauma into action.

Those that attended both days described the webcast as very informative and motivating. Many community connections were made.

The San Juan, Elk Grove, and Sacramento Unified School Districts were all active participants in the Trauma-Informed Approaches in Education Strategy Session and felt their district leaders were on board. Many are planning on attending the Beyond Violence Workshop on Oct 16 & 17. I witnessed their enthusiasm in making a change in young people's lives

So happy to hear that the event was helpful to the field! As part of the planning team, I can say that we worked really hard to 1) keep the focus on practical implementation, and 2) use technology to support network building across the country. We'd love to get feedback on how well people think we accomplished these two goals, and what could be improved next time.

We also hope that this new ACEsconnection group can help keep the national conversation alive. We would like to begin collectively crafting a policy agenda for action at the federal state and local levels. So please share any thoughts you have!

Wendie, thanks so much for reporting on the response from Sacramento to the conference. I also learned a lot and made some fabulous connections by attending in Washington, DC and having our local Trauma-Informed DC meet during the strategy sessions. Elizabeth
