Hi Dawn & All,

I like very much the idea of connecting with other UK members. Please, keep me in the loop. 

Also, I'm not sure if you are aware, on Thursday 27th April here in London there will be the premiere of the documentary "Resilience: The Biology of Stress and Science of Hope". There will be a Q&A session after the screening with James Redford (director) and Dr Graham Music, Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust.

The film addresses ACEs and seems truly inspiring and thought provoking. Here is the link for the premiere: https://princecharlescinema.com/PrinceCharlesCinema.dll/WhatsOn?f=1957517

Kind regards,

Tiane

Hi Dawn! As you can see, I completely lost track of this thread... I did not see the follow ups. Probably busy with various things. I was wondering the other day about your initial post regarding setting up the UK group and only today have seen the updates! Is the group running? Please, do include me if possible - tianecg@gmail.com. Will you or anyone else from the group attend the conference about ACEs in Glasgow tomorrow (26 Sep)? I will be there and it’d be great to say hello!

Looking forward to hearing from you. 

Warmly, Tiane

It was good also to hear of the successful screenings of Resilience in the UK. I’m the director of CAREgivers Film which addresses secondary trauma and promotes the development of staff resiliency programs through the film and our workshops. Hope you’ll check out our website and please let me know if we can be of assistance or if you have any questions. 

Kind regards,

Hi

I've been aware of ACEsConnections UK for a while, and a member, but not sure how best to use it. I have been researching ACEs-awareness in London [and further afield - would love to know what went on in Glasgow conference] for past 18 months or so, and have identifies some 20 projects and people who work in a trauma-informed way. A showing of Resilience in Lambeth Borough in July attracted some 250people. The time is possibly ripe for some London-wide initiative but that is beyond my capacity. Though last Saturday through a personal contact I was asked to give a presentation on ACEs to 14 educational psychotherapists - it went well and the ideas are spreading.

I have also written a review of Nadine Burke Harris's excellent "The Deepest Well" which is due for publication in the Attachment psychotherapy journal published by The Bowlby Centre in London [happy to send it to anyone, in confidence, contact me at  simonpartridge846@btinternet.com ]. I am interested in the overlap between the ACEs approach and Attachment Theory and have discovered that John Bowlby first used the term "adverse childhood experiences" way back in 1981.

Dawn, I have been wondering if the UK ACEsConnections network would be more manageable if it was subdivided into its national and regional [in England] components?
