Well, I thought I got this image from this handout but at second glance, maybe I didn't.  Anyone know where this image originally came from? 

Might these have come from the Harvard Center on the Developing Child-which has published a 'position paper' on "Toxic Stress" ? ? ?

Does anyone know if the understanding ACEs handout has been translated into Arabic or if there is a similar handout available in Arabic?  Thanks.

The World Health Organization's 'WHO ACE International Questionnaire' was available in 'over 100 languages' on the WHO website. WHO did have a ' User's guide-book' to accompany it. I can't specifically say about the 'Understanding ACEs' handout.

Hi Brianne - we have these posted in Spanish and Dari but not Arabic.

We'd love to have these translated into Arabic if anyone has resources to do so!

Great I will share it with you. Great to have more translations in one
place. Thanks

Hi, Sigrid: Feel free to translate the posters, and then will you send us a copy so that we can included it in our Resources Center?

You can send it to Morgan Vien, the center administrator — mvien@acesconnection.com.

Thanks for doing this!

In my work as a psychologist I ask every client about their aces
Now I would like to ask if I can translate the material/posters for parents that are promoted on the web page in Icelandic?

Hmm, not sure why the Spanish one isnt included here but I attach it here (and have updated the blog post above to include it.

How do we get Spanish versions of these documents?  I found one a while ago but I lost it.

HI Tina. You can download, edit and use them as you wish but just please give credit to those that created them (the info at the end: "Thanks to the people in the Community & Family Services Division at the Spokane (WA) Regional Health District for developing this handout for parents in Washington State, and sharing it with others around the world".

Hello, are these copyrighted or can they be edited/image used in another handout?  

I  just downloaded these...  Thanks for a great resource tool!

Linda: Thanks for letting me know about the participant in your workshop....this information is so useful!...for all of us!

Amen, Brenda. There are some family practice physicians who have integrated asking about ACEs into their practice, but they're few and far between! Still, there's a buzz starting about integrating ACEs science, and it's gaining a foothold in the pediatric community.

When I have spoken to my doctor(s) concerning ACEs, I get little response.  I have made the connection between my own childhood experiences and ACE score and the medical issues I deal with, but my doctors do not seem to be on board with this (perhaps since it isn't covered in medical school?).  They seem to listen, but are unwilling to give it weight or merit because it doesn't relate to their "numbers learning" in terms of this test result number means this diagnosis.  I'd like to lead them away from their numbers learning, but they don't seem comfortable with that.  And until medical experts start emphasizing, and the hard sciences get on board with these concepts completely, we won't made headway.  Thank goodness for those medical experts (thank you) who do!  It's an uphill battle in the Washington DC area -- especially Montgomery County, Maryland where I live.

I'm about four weeks away from finishing my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Johns Hopkins.  It would be a grand goal to be able to gain the listening ears of some medical professionals here.

I share Christine's observation that a portion of the people I'm trying to reach "tune out" when first hearing the words adverse childhood experiences, trauma, and traumatic stress.  That's why I like that Resilience is the flip side of these handouts.  When educating staff, childcare providers, and others I start the conversation with ACEs.  When educating the general public, I start the conversation with promoting resilience, and back into ACEs once I'm sure I've got their attention.  Thank you for the additional resource!

Jane, I forgot to tell  you that one participant came up to me after the workshop and reported that after hearing the presentation and looking at the handout you graciously allowed me to print as a handout that she was high on the ACEs scale. She said many things happened in her childhood that were on the list. She was so grateful for all of the information. 

Thanks, Linda. I'm so glad this is useful -- and the folks in Spokane are, too!

Thanks again Jane for providing this valuable piece for us. Just did a "The Trauma-Informed Church"  workshop in California. Passed out this piece and people loved it. Tied everything together.

Hi, Tina -- Toxic stress is explained in the text. Do you think it needs to be in the headline, too?

I truly believe these handouts should be edited to say "Toxic Stress."   Stress is necessary Toxic Stress is dangerous. 

Thank you Jane for suggesting this wonderfully engaging and accessible resource. 

Hi Nicky: You make a good point. We'll get started on the changes.

Thank you!

Cheers, Jane

Thanks these are great!

Hi

I also love these handouts. They have been a wonderful help. One piece of
feedback is that some of the non-parental caregivers have said resilience
sheet is triggering and they would prefer to see “caregiver” or “family
support” or some other term given so many children may not have a parent
in the picture or are not going to get this kind of support from their
parent.

It's a great handout for promoting ACEs awareness. I have been using these two hand outs with the ACE survey and Resilience survey for 3 months now. In most cases I witness the pages tucked away with a guarded interest. 

I went to a printing company and had 250 printed up.

Here's a link to the handout in Spanish.
