Leslie Lieberman posted:Hi Jennifer, The Philadelphia ACE Task Force has been working on secondary traumatic stress for a number of years. Our work began with a screening of the film Caregivers as part of our ACE Film Festival. More recently we have been working with the Philadelphia City Council to raise awareness about and begin to craft policies that address STS. Here's a recent article about our work https://generocity.org/philly/...0&_hsmi=69526486
On a separate note, my son is an undergraduate at CWRU - would love to connect with you next time I'm in Cleveland which may be in May. I also recently spoke at a conference in Mahoning Co. OH - they are doing some great work to organize their trauma across sectors
Thanks, Leslie! I actually lived in Philadelphia about 5 years ago and was at FPCN/Health Annex and I think may have connected with you around the trauma-informed efforts happening there! We've come full circle. Would love to connect with you when you're in Cleveland-- let me know!
We are hoping to screen Caregivers as part of our Healing Network Night initiative. We are in the very early stages of attempting to do some city wide work in this area, as well, and would love to hear any tips you have.
