Reply to "Advice: How to survey kids experiencing foster care (ACEs and Resiliency)?"

Hi Katie, December 1, 2017 Napa  hosted two showings of Resilience (see attached flyer) for staff, community partners, and parents. 

Over 100 people attended!  All were surprised and interested in learning more about ACEs.  We also conducted an anonymous ACEs survey poll - to get a sense of the participant's ACEs scores.  The feedback was overwhelmingly positive - so many people said that they thought they were the only one to have experienced so many ACEs.  And, they understood the importance of decreasing the risk of ACEs for their foster and adopted children. 

These two events prompted so many dialogs - from folks working with adults in substance use programs, clinicians working with at-risk older adults, supporting LGBTQ youth, .... and wondering how to help local schools adopt trauma informed practices so that CASA and foster youth are supported in all settings.  
Thank you for asking these important questions!
Karen
