So, I have a few thoughts and I'd be happy to discuss further if you have questions or ideas. My organization is wanting to bring ACES and Resiliency to the parents we serve (Head Start and ECEAP preschool families), so I have been putting together presentations that will happen in February. I have used a lot of information that has already been available, including talking to other individuals who have done similar work. I learned a lot getting feedback from their experiences.
The Harvard Center on the Developing Child has great information about toxic stress, executive function, resilience, and brain architecture. I've incorporated several of their videos because they use language that is understandable and good visuals. I also use the ACES Primer Video (https://vimeo.com/139998006).
What we decided to do is two presentations - the first very briefly introduces the concept of ACES, and focuses heavily on Resiliency and HOPE (Health Outcomes from Positive Experiences framework). The second presentation goes more into the science behind ACES, as well as the Strengthening Families 5 Protective Factors framework. I originally had Executive Functioning information in the presentation, and only one presentation rather than two, but it was just too lengthy and we had to narrow the focus to what we really hope that they get out of attending - a sense of hope for their and their children's future, and ideas on how to support resiliency now and ongoing.
We also purchased the Be Strong Families Parent Cafe discussion cards (English and Spanish) in order to host Cafe Conversations if parents are interested in that being a way of follow-up after the presentations. They are available here: https://www.bestrongfamilies.o...parent-cafe-in-a-box and they build on the 5 Protective Factors framework that we introduce in Part 2 of the presentation.
There is a local therapy clinic that we are partnering with to have staff available at the presentations in case parents feel the need to speak with a professional at that time, and the clinic does take state insurance so we can refer families to them for on-going services. That's all I can think of for now. Hopefully this helps!
