Reply to "Surveying student population"

What're your goals here?

As a former educator and current Youth Advocate, I'd highly recommend a 2 gen approach to addressing ACES in your student population. The growing research surrounding ACES increasingly suggests that children who have high ACE scores (4 or more) have parents/caregivers with high ACE scores. Best practice is, now, commonly thought to be a 2 gen approach.

 

This may be daunting based upon your enrollment (2,050 students). I'd suggest trying to partner with your local children's hospital and/or local government health department in order to reach scale. Toward this end, an anonymous survey may help you "sell" this to your administration, parents, local partners, etc. 

You'll find this link and YouTube talks by Dr. Nadine Burke Harris extremely helpful. 

This is super important I think. Press on!

 

Ben.
