Are there programs for training law enforcement personnel on the adverse affects of trauma? I have found a DVD based curriculum on the National Child Traumatic Stress Network and apparently SAMSHA has a program as well. Are there any speakers or trainers in the Pacific Northwest that provide workshops on understanding ACES/trauma and resiliency for rural police and sheriff departments?
Thank you,

Hello, I have an online human trafficking training for LE. We teach empathy. I'm a sex trafficking survivor. I'm retired now and I'm doing anti-human trafficking work. Understanding the ACEs helped me a lot.
I find that many LE officers feel uncomfortable sitting for hours in training talking about these sensitive issues and from my participants' feedback, my program is changing hearts and attitudes towards victims. This is what we really have to do before victims will be treated differently. LE does not have to come off the job to take my training. They can take it in the privacy of their own home, office or patrol car. Its only 3 minutes a day for 20 days. A perfect way to retain information on such a dark subject. Not sure if this is something you're looking for but here are 3 sample lessons.
Thank you
Warmly
