ACE Activists in San Diego: An Example of Trauma Preventive Policy Action!

Leslie Lieberman ·
Thanks to all who participated in the this past week's webinar on trauma informed policy with our guest speaker Jonathan Purtle, DrPH, Assistant Professor at the Dorsife School of Public Health at Drexel University. Jonathan outlined a very useful typology of trauma informed policies one of which is "trauma preventive policies." Jonathan describes these as "policies that are not necessarily designed with the explicit intent of addressing traumatic stress, but have great potential to do so by...

Boston’s architect of community well-being: Pediatrician Renée Boynton-Jarrett

Christine Cissy White ·
She talks with parents about the relationship between childhood adversities they have experienced and how that may have an impact on parenting. “I frame things a bit more broadly than ACEs,” she said, “because I think it’s very important to reflect on a broader number of exposures than were covered in the original study, such as poverty or structural violence and racism.”

Early childhood educators learn new ways to spot trauma triggers, build resilience in preschoolers

Laurie Udesky ·
A hug may be comforting to many children, but for a child who has experienced trauma it may not feel safe. That’s an example used by Julie Kurtz, co-director of trauma informed practices in early childhood education at the WestEd Center for Child & Family Studies (CCFS), as she begins a trauma training session. Her audience, preschool teachers and staff of the San Francisco-based Wu Yee Children’s Services at San Francisco’s Women’s Building, listen attentively.

Showing UP for Sophia: Dear John,

Marcella Maggio ·
Dear John, Watching Marriage Story on New Year’s Eve was the ending I needed to witness in order to understand our own. Like Charlie and Nicole, we have history, we share a child, and we both want our child to be raised in an environment where she can thrive. While our similarities don’t stop there, the difference in how their ending started inspired me to follow suit. A mediator encouraged them to write a note of positivity to remember why they got married (together) in the first place.

Getting on the Same Page: Developing a Strategic Plan

Clare Reidy ·
Plans change. That was a key lesson learned by the San Diego Trauma-Informed Guide Team (SD-TIGT) as the group worked to hone a strategic plan. The network had begun as a grass-roots collaborative, and members wanted to preserve that sense of openness and inclusion. At the same time, with Harmonium, Inc., as the backbone organization and the MARC grant as an impetus, the network also needed structure, goals and clearly defined roles. Already, the Guide Team’s focus had shifted; what began in...

ACEs, Sugar Addiction, and Weight Gain by Dr. Felitti & Dr. Alman

Brian Alman ·
In many cases, sugar addiction (just like other forms of addiction) can be linked to ACEs. When adverse childhood experiences go unresolved, sugar is easily accessible and can provide a temporary pressure relief valve from toxic stress. Sometimes, this way of coping is unconscious because the sugar-eating habits are reinforced by the brain’s altered hardwiring that craves that next dopamine hit. Then, there's the weight gain...

The Link Between Trauma Healing & Weight Loss by Dr. Felitti and Dr. Alman

Brian Alman ·
It’s clear that, in many cases, food is not the real problem, but rather a solution to temporarily relieve stress, feel comforted, and have a temporary escape from the bad memories, shame, and guilt that often come with trauma. Addressing the root cause of weight gain isn’t as black-and-white as simply changing the way one eats or exercises. Learn what it takes and how you can get the support you need along the way.
