Educating an entire agency on ACEs

Hi, Rebecca: @Karen Johnson — then with the National Council for Behavioral Health — provided training on ACEs science and TI care for several state agencies in Wisconsin. I'm pretty sure she's worked with other communities as well.

I am available to present virtual training to an entire agency.  I just completed work with a large Human Services Agency in Pontiac, MI.

We did 8 sessions lasting 2 hours each over several months.  The training content can be tailored to the agency to address prior knowledge, and all training information can be found on my website: creatingresilience.org

Please let me know if you need other additional information.

Respectfully,

Hi Cheryl, all of that sounds great! I will reach out to discuss further and see if there is anything that could best fit the needs of our local agency. Thank you!

Hi!

Another tool in your toolkit could be Mind Matters Now, an on-demand psycho-educational program to address trauma and improve resiliency. Over the course of 10 hours your staff will learn the content of  Mind Matters. It helps people understand trauma (their own and others) and develop habits and skills to to take charge of their emotions and improve their states of mind. Participants learn to address their physical, relational, and mental health needs.

Please let me know if you would like a preview.

Hi Rebecca - I'm the Communications Manager for the National Council for Behavioral Health's trauma and resilience practice area -- Karen Johnson would be our subject matter expert. I've also attached several resources re: ACEs that she's provided me that may be helpful.

Hi Rebecca, Center for Youth Wellness also offers an online, self-paced course on ACEs 101 at centerforyouthwellness.org/ondemand. We've held trainings with many organizations over the years and would be happy to speak do you about your specific needs. Feel free to email at mpeterson@centerforyouthwellness.org. Good luck!

I would highly recommend this program from Dr. Stephanie Covington.  The Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation can also provide training and guidance.  Moving from Trauma-Informed to Trauma-Responsive: A Training Program for Organizational Change

Hi Rebecca,

My organization, Catalyst Center is hosting a series of Free, Virtual live ACEs Aware Supplemental Provider Trainings from July 21st - August 25th. CME and CEU credits are available. These trainings are designed for healthcare providers of all specialties (not just in psychology/psychiatry). So they might or might not be a good fit for your agency. In these trainings, we go over physical effects of ACEs, importance of ACE screening, HOW to implement ACE screenings and address toxic stress, and more. Our earliest upcoming Provider Training is for the San Diego Region on July 21st at 10AM PT but providers can sign up for any training that fits their schedule.

You can contact me to talk more about whether these trainings would be a good fit for your agency. Please email me at mluong@cacfs.org. You are also of course welcome to share these trainings to anyone that might be interested.
