Reply to "ACES, resilience and orphanages"

Thanks Cissy, you gave me some new resources to check out! I haven't seen the WHO survey or read any of Dr. Perry's research. I'll look into it now. The ACES test I gave to my college students the other day was the expanded 14 question one which does include growing up in foster/orphanage care, but doesn't add anything about abandonment, which I know a lot of these kids really struggle with. Many of them only had 1 ACE, which was growing up in an orphanage, but we know that that does cause many of the same developmental delays due to lack of attachment. So, I think your idea to adapt it is good. I'm going to see if a Thai researcher I know who is working on some new research with kids leaving care can help me adapt it. I think it would be an interesting topic to do more research on. The students really got a lot out of learning about how they affect our brains and the activities we did that teach healing from ACES.
