ACEsConnection Monthly Highlights

 

A little squirrel announces that he was once very, very, scared and finds out that he is not alone. Lots of little animals went through scary experiences, but they react in different ways. Turtle hides and gets a tummy ache, monkey clings, dog barks, and elephant doesn’t like to talk about it. They need help, and they get help from grown-ups who help them feel safe and learn ways to cope with difficult feelings. This story was written to help children and grown-ups understand how stress can affect children and ways to help them.


Trauma and Brain Development
A Protective Factors Approach: Center for the Study of Social Policy's Strengthening Families PowerPoint on Trauma and Brain Development

The Paradox of Trauma-Informed Care
Dr. Vicky Kelly advocates for human services to adopt “trauma-informed care,” an approach that calls for a focus not just on someone’s behavior, but, more importantly, on what drives behavior.

A Call to Connection: Making Childhood Trauma Personal
Dr. Allison Jackson is a Trauma Informed Care Specialist. She makes a compelling case for, “connection as a cure” to counter a lot of damage done by trauma.
