Reply to "Information and tips wanted in starting an ace-survey in schools in the Netherlands"

Hi, Leony:

Sorry -- I didn't see your other questions. The Spokane and SF school in the story list are integrating trauma-informed practices, and ACES is a part of the curriculum for teachers, staff, etc. But I don't know of any elementary schools that screen for ACEs, although I heard that some folks in Connecticut wanted to. I don't think it's necessary, actually. With trauma-aware teachers, principals and staff, and trauma-informed responses put in place at all levels in the school, it doesn't matter what the event is so much as what the response is. Of course, if a child is being physically, sexually or verbally abused, that's a level in which the response is very high and involves the family and perhaps some other organizations.

In a couple of pediatric practices in Oregon, parents of four-month-old babies are filling out their own ACE scores, as a way of helping parents develop healthy parenting practices, and to provide support during times of stress.
