Hello

Does anyone have examples of health care / k-12 collaborative models around ACEs screening and  resiliency interventions. 

I am working with a school district at the beginning of implementing Trauma Sensitive School practices. Our district is currently connected with mental health providers but looking to see what beneficial collaboration models might exist with primary care physicians.

Thank You!

Vermont's 2013 legislature apparently only passed part of House Bill 762-requiring All Vt. 'Health Care Providers' to screen All patients, regardless of age, for ACEs. Prime Sponsor of the [on-going] bill is a Pediatrician. Part of the on-going follow-up reportedly involves framing the ACE screening questions in a fashion suitable for children, versus adult patients. I'm not certain how they plan to measure Resiliency, and whether the questions may be different for folks younger than 18 years of age.

Amy,

Oregon is doing some of this with their Coordinated Care Model/Health Transformation and partnerships with School Districts.  Care Oregon recently provided a grant to begin a Trauma Informed Schools Collaborative for 5 school districts in Columbia County, Oregon and 5 school districts in Clatsop County, Oregon.  This work is modeled on an earlier effort within 7 Oregon School Districts (report attached here).  

Oregon's Coordinated Care Model created 16 regional Coordinated Care Organizations and provides a global budget to meet the needs of all Medicaid members in Oregon.  Each CCO is regionally/locally governed.  I would say that all CCOs are working with community partners to address ACEs in some way.

Let me know if I can provide more information.

Project LAUNCH is a SAMHSA funded grant that is being implemented across the country, which promotes the social & emotional well-being of children 0-8 years old.  It has five strategies - two of which are integrating behavioral health into pediatric primary care, and screening and assessment in a variety of child-serving settings (e.g., child care settings, schools, ped offices).  Depending on which state you are in,  this grant is helping systems implement trauma-informed care in a variety of ways.  It might be helpful to collaborate with them for your project.  Here is a link to the main LAUNCH website, so maybe you can find a connection. http://www.healthysafechildren...ject-launch-grantees  

Hi Amy - I am working with some middle and high schools to conduct trauma screening and interventions.  The screening takes place through the school-based health center. Some schools are using the ACEs, and others are using more comprehensive screeners, like the CBITS screener, or UCLA PTSD Rxn Index. Interventions used for youth screening positive include: Trauma and Grief Component Therapy for Adolescents, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Schools (CBITS), Seeking Safety, DBT.  I am working on a draft guide for trauma screening in schools.  Happy to discuss our lessons learned if you would like. ~Stephanie 

I don't see a mention of Nan Henderson, MSW who has done some amazing work on the Resiliency Model and I know she has worked with several school districts.  Her website is http://www.resiliency.com/

We had her as a speaker at our domestic violence conference years ago and she did an excellent job of connecting our topic with her work.  I would highly recommend her work and she is very up to date on ACE's work.
