Trauma Informed/ ACE & Emergency Preparedness activities

Hi, Jen -- Kathy Hentcy asked a similar question in a discussion she posted recently. Chris Engel provided some info, but this seems to be new territory. Maybe you two could get together to discuss, start a group? Also, if you're interested in training first responders to be trauma-informed, you could contact Kimberly Shultz, who's been doing this with the San Diego Trauma-Informed Guide Team. 

Cheers, Jane

Hi Jen,

This is a good document even though it was written with schools in mind:

School Crisis Guide

You may also want to take a look at this related discussion thread:

Trauma-informed Emergency Preparedness Drills?

I did some research for Kathy that you might want to explore. Please check out what others contributed, too.

Thanks so much!
