Hi Folks,
I have recently been trained as an ACE Master Trainer through the Children's Trust of South Carolina. In the training we received materials from ACE Interface.
My special interest is working with churches and ministries to educate and equip them to be better trauma-informed and to increase the resilience of members of their congregation and of the communities members they serve.
Myself and another Master Trainer have presented information on ACEs to a small group of people at a local church and will be meeting with the senior pastor soon to talk about 'next steps.'
I have created a brief (DRAFT) document that begins to look at a trauma-informed strategy for the church. It's a work in progress as they say! (It is attached.)
I'd love any feedback that any of you might have for improvements to the strategy or to make it more complete. Please share your thoughts as a comment so that others can benefit as well.
As this document becomes improved, I'll plan on sharing it here. :-)
Thanks so much!
