Reply to "Seeking Advice re: ACE Film Screenings in Communities"

HI Keri-

Last year we screened 'Paper Tigers' in both Yolo County and Sacramento County (neighboring counties in CA) and it was a wonderful platform to share information about our community ACEs initiatives.  In Sacramento, we had a panel following the screening with several of the staff from Lincoln High (from the film), held a one day community networking convening the day of the screening and the next day hosted a training for school staff. Very successful.  In Yolo Co. we hosted it our high school, invited Board of Sups & School Board members, school staff and community members. Over 400 people attended. We invited school staff (mainly mental health & nurses) to comment and facilitated a lively discussion about "what to do" in our community.

This last month, Sacramento Co. screened 'Resilience' to a packed house of over 300 people.   (We also were able to bring Nadine Burke Harris to speak which was a wonderful draw).  Lots of dialog & discussion; co-hosted by University of CA, Davis and our Sacramento ACEs Connection group.  Also a huge success at raising awareness about ACEs science and getting folks talking about ACEs, and creating trauma-informed and resilience-building practices, & policies.

Hope this is helpful. Happy to provide more info or connect you with organizers of any of these events if you are interested.
