I'd like to welcome those of you who have joined this group through the RIS for ACE Response online course to use this topic forum to share any thoughts and/or lingering questions you may have about the RIS model (anyone who has not taken the course is welcome to take part in the conversation as well and may want to take a look at the online course flyer attached below). It may also be helpful to share with other group members how you think RIS implementation could potentially benefit your practice as it relates to addressing ACEs, treating trauma, and/or building resilience. This could be a great learning experience as we join together to hear from fellow members coming from different service sectors and geographical locations.

If you feel comfortable sharing, maybe you could start by letting us know what state you're from, your area of practice, and primary level of focus (i.e., individual, group, agency, or community level), and then go on to discuss how RIS could influence your work. Please, don't feel shy, we're all in this together!  Be the first to comment below...unfortunately you won't win a prize but you could learn something and someone could learn from you!
