I believe we need to develop a grass roots community group around ACE awareness and Resiliency in Central Pennsylvania. We need to get the word out and encourage and support awareness of ACEs and Resiliency Building. 

I recently spent a few months in Maine, working as a primary care provider. They have the Maine (Maine Resiliency Building Network, maineaces.org) and  they are doing good work! I believe Sue Andrews-Mackey, up there, stepped in a while back and they are making definite, but slow progress.  In Central PA, I think Paper Tigers started to raise awareness, at least incrementally. 

I am NOT speaking for any of you, but I need to step up as an early adopter and do my best to get this epidemic identified and start to be part of the solution--in Central Pennsylvania. I am inviting you to join me. I have a small group of teachers, social workers and others who have expressed interest and invite those of you who are compelled to share this responsibility to join me. I truly don't have any idea how we will do it, but we will do it! This is an epidemic that we have to address.

As an educational consultant, I  have been doing work in Lancaster and Lebanon Counties.  Will be working with York this spring and had worked with Joe B. (above) in Crawford Co earlier this year.  My focus is developing Trauma-informed School Practices and integrating them with research and initiatives related to poverty and PBIS.  Would love to engage in conversation with others about their efforts!

Hi, Ellen!  Although I do not live in PA, I am in a similar situation here in Pensacola, Florida.  We need to get things going but I'm not sure how to begin.  I, too, have a small group of people interested.  I would love to know how things go with your group and I will happily share anything I get going here.

I'm an educator so I have a little bit of a different background.  I would love to hear updates if you don't mind sharing.

Good luck,

Barbie Nall

Hi Barbie,

I am a PA educator (Educational Consultant) and have been working on trauma-informed practices in my local school districts.  Would like to connect via email to see what kinds of things you are thinking about and to share some of what we have been doing.  Please contact me at dyane_carrere@iu13.org if you wish.  Dyane
