Reply to "Bullying as an ACE"

June, it may be helpful to make sure that folks understand that the original ACE study focused on 10 specific types of experiences and was certainly not all inclusive.  When we train community partners we try to focus on the fact that "trauma" experience is unique to the individual.  It includes any event or experience that overwhelms a person's internal resources (resiliency) and leaves them feeling threatened, helpless, or powerless. Bullying would certainly fit in that category.

The resources at the National Child Traumatic Stress Network on Bullying may be helpful in making those connections.  They specifically call out Bullying as a type of traumatic experience.

Good luck with your course!
