West Virginia ACEs Coalition Inaugural Meeting

You Are Invited to the ACES Coalition Inaugural Meeting, Thursday, Jan. 14, 10:30 - 1:00 p.m.

Friends and Colleagues,

As someone who cares about children and health outcomes for West Virginia, I am pleased to invite you to attend the first meeting of the newly formed state ACES (Adverse Childhood Experiences) Coalition on Thursday, Jan. 14. The meeting will be held from 10:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.  at the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department, 108 Lee St. East, Charleston, WV 25301 

The state ACES Coalition is being created to help mobilize work and collaboration around the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study (ACES) in West Virginia. The West Virginia ACES Coalition is a newly created work group that seeks to advance the many exciting efforts emerging in West Virginia related to ACES including trauma-informed education programs, the expanding β€œHandle With Care” project, collection and evaluation of ACE surveys from WV residents, and many others.

At our meeting on Jan. 14th, we will have an opportunity to learn more about what ACES efforts are underway and exchange ideas and strategies for how we can use this information to improve WV health, education, and other outcomes.

Amy Wentz Berner, (Coordinator, Office of School & Community Support, WV Department of Education) has graciously agreed to keep track of RSVPs for the meeting. If you would like to attend the meeting, please email Amy at aberner@k12.wv.us with your name, organization, and email address and whether if you plan to attend, or if you want  to be added to the list for future meetings.

Many thanks to Dr. Brumage, Executive Director of the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department for hosting our initial meeting. You can access directions to the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department at the following link: https://goo.gl/maps/RhMGkcFxyDJ2.
