Help our public radio station with a story: How did separation from your parents as a child impact you?

Laura Klivans ·
KQED is the National Public Radio affiliate in San Francisco, CA. We’d like to hear from adults (18+) who were separated from their parents when they were children. Perhaps the separation was due to economic reasons, war and conflict, incarceration, foster care, or something else. How did that period of separation impact you in the long-run? How has it impacted your connection to others and how you build relationships? If you're a parent, how does it influence how you parent? We’re...

Melanie G Snyder ·
Hi Stephanie - in Lancaster County, PA, we have been working over the past several years to "build the foundation for a trauma-informed criminal justice system". We started by providing the following trainings for criminal justice professionals, using nationally developed curricula: 1) trained entire staff of our county prison and entire staff of our county adult probation & parole department using SAMHSA's "How Being Trauma-Informed Improves Criminal Justice System Responses" (400 CO's...

I'm not sure of any that are specific to criminal justice, however Florida came out with an assessment for their juvenile detention facilities. Perhaps you can adapt it to what you need? It's call the Trauma Responsive and Care Environment (TRACE).

Re: Use of ACE test in County Jails

David M. Young ·
Doug - I like your extension of the inquiry. We have conducted two projects in our county jail to improve health, wellness, and self-care management. Our first project focused on improving health literacy and the second on health insurance literacy. Both have been published in Corrections Today as follows: Young, D. & C. Weinert. 2013. Improving Health Literacy with Inmates . Corrections Today , 75(5):70-74. Alexandria, Virginia: American Correctional Association. Young, D. &...

I like this story, but it's just not a Bay Area problem... it's systemic my Dad ran to the Bay Area from Seattle and we still have not healed this relationship. He is still caught up in he's my Dad...which he is not! He never raised me to play with me nor attended me when I am in need. Seattle Alfred

Articles on ACEs in the criminal justice system

Hi, My name is Jónína and Im new to the ACE community, I am finishing my first semester in my master program in clinical psychology at Reykjavik University in Iceland. I stumbled upon this site and thought it might be a good idea to start a small discussion where we could share knowledge about ACEs in the criminal justice system. For my masters thesis I am going to write about ACEs in prison population in Iceland and look into quality of life and substance use. I am just starting to dig into...
