Anyone have an ACES/Resilience one-pager for legislators you're willing to share?

HI Melanie- Check out the State ACEs Profiles and in CA we created community profiles for our Policymaker Awarenss day event we've held for the last couple of years. 

And finally, an article Elizabeth Prewitt wrote about engaging with legislators in home district.   
Hope this helps!

Please share what you come up with!  

I have an ACEs flyer that we developed in Spokane in 2012, but recently updated. 

I will attach our original and updated version for you to look at.

This is excellent!

This is an infograph from Robert Wood Johnson

Here's another

Do you have a link for the infograph about Economic Impact of ACEs?  

it is my understanding the Disability Rights CA has a document re: language guide for legislators.

Health Brief, Education Brief and Justice Brief from the Illinois ACEs Response Collaborative

Hi Lori. Let me try to see if I can post the link only. My last attempt resulted in the infograph itself being posted.

Melanie, While the National Conference of State Legislatures may have something, I'm not immediately familiar with it. I had occasion to submit written and oral testimony to the Vermont Legislative Trauma Commission back in 2000, and to follow Vermont Pediatrician/Legislator George Till, M.D.'s 2013 bill to require all Vermont Health Providers to screen all patients, regardless of age, for ACEs. There is an active Vt. legislative committee following this, according to one committee member I spoke with.

The Alaska Children's Trust has created several documents that might be useful examples of how to educate the public, including legislators, about ACEs and their economic impact.  Here are links to 3 (*indicates Alaska specific date):  

• *Prevent Child Abuse and Neglect Brief
• *Adverse Childhood Experiences in Alaska Brief
• *Cost of Adverse Childhood Experiences in Alaska Brief

great stuff - thanks for passing these along, Elizabeth! Also, great article that you wrote about talking w/ legislators in our home districts on the CA ACES action site. 

Hi Gail,

Do you have the info for the "Trauma Informed Schools" we presented at Encina High School? I do not have a copy. I think working with McKinney Vento students is a very important piece of my work. Trauma is a daily event for most of these students. There as so many students struggling to survive. All schools should have a mandate for trauma informed care.

For anyone who does not know what McKinney Vento is I have posted a link of the federal law protecting the educational rights of homeless and unaccompanied youth.

I just found this. Some is test, some is an infograph.
