Hello! New to this community. Wondering if anyone has run across research or data regarding ACEs scores for early childhood educators? I am hosting a NC preschool expulsion and suspension summit in late April and thought this would be helpful information to share. Thanks for your help!

Dear ACEs in Early Childhood Community, We just launched a new trauma-informed children's book series called Venus and Her Fly Trip . The series has been developed in collaboration with therapists, educators, parents and healers and is designed to promote mental/social/emotional health, body positivity and imaginative play in kids 4-10 (so a little bit more for big kids!), with the ultimate goal of preventing self-hatred. I would greatly value hearing the feedback of the ACEs community on...

Healing Childhood Trauma I’d like to thank each member of ACE’s Connection for all your work helping and supporting children through various activities and organizations. You are clearly a collection of people who care about the children of the world. It is in recognition of these efforts that I ask you to consider two books on healing childhood trauma. They represent a life-time partnership dedicated to raising and educating healthy children. Secondly, I’d like to ask you for a word of...

Greetings! I was wondering if anyone is aware of a child care program that would consider themselves "Trauma-Informed" - implementing trauma-informed practices throughout their program. I'd like to reach out to them for an interview, with the potential of being featured in an upcoming publication. Thank you! Suzanne,

Wondering if Trauma informed Childcare shouldn't have a name change to  ACES in childcare/preK to broaden membership and scope? 

Thank you Linda. You are such an asset to our community in this work! We have the expert on Dirvorce Trauma right here!

Hello. I would love to talk with you about that data that has been collected in Chatham County around this, as well as the summit you are hosting in April. Where are you in NC? My email is LKehle@kidscope.chtop.org .

I would complete an ACES questionnaire for you. I am sure if you ask other early childhood professionals they would share their scores too!

Hello Holly That is very nice of your to offer but I was hoping to find the data already collected. Perhaps it is something I work to collect in the future. Thanks again!

Hi Suzanne, I just found your post and I'd love to chat with you! I don't run a child care program myself but this is a key area of research and development for me! My team and I have created and are testing out Roots of Resilience: Teachers Awakening Children's Healing. It's designed specifically for child care providers & early childhood teachers working with children impacted by trauma. I also conduct related research to find ways to realize the potential of Early Care and Education...

Hi Suzanne, Shannon, and Leslie - We're researching potential curricula to use specifically with Family Child Care Providers, here in California. Would Roots of Resilience and other references be tailored meet their needs as well? Also, do you know whether any of these qualify for IV-E federal funding/reimbursement? Thank you, in advance

I would be delighted to discuss my trauma-informed trainings. I provide accredited trainings to early childhood teachers and family child care providers. So many of these professionals emerge from adverse childhood experiences! My work with them focuses on improving their emotional self-management through the "rebuilding of their mindsets and restructuring their brain patterns". I do this through teaching and training them in The 7 Mindsets demonstrated by those who have overcome life's...

I am in Lawrence Kansas and we are using the Trauma Smart training in several preschools. They are located at Crittenton in Kansas City. Research based and great training. A little costly.

Hi Domenica, I am so sorry I missed your inquiry in October! I would be happy to chat with you about Roots of Resilience. We are starting to move into scale-up, so the timing is good! Are you still interested in chatting? My email is shannon.lipscomb@osucascades.edu

Hi Suzanne look you might want to look at, talk to Head Start, Trauma Smart in Kansas City and/or talk with Chris Blodgett in Washington State about his work with Head Start programs there. Let me know if you need more info.
