Reply to "ACEs in Higher Ed?"

Jennifer,

I believe there are two separate needs in higher education. I have 24 years of experiencing working in higher education in administrative and faculty positions. The first need is to educate teaching faculty about ACES and other trauma/adversity which may impact student learning. When a student is stuck in what I call, "trauma brain", executive functioning is difficult to access. Also, a faculty can unintentionally trigger a student. Second, students in "helping" professions need to understand the ACE study and its implications on those they serve and self.

I have created a Webinar for criminal justice faculty at the college where I adjunct. The Webinar is to focus on how faculty can use skills to better support students who may have experienced or are experiencing trauma/adversity. Specifically, I translate evidenced based research on trauma/adversity into skills which faculty and administrators can use immediately for greater learning, retention and success of students. Secondly, I incorporate ACE research into all of the classes I teach. I would be happy to talk more about this with you. Please private message me if you would like to find a time we could talk.

~ Cathy
