Handouts for parents about Understanding ACEs, toxic stress, resilience & Parenting with ACEs

Is there any way to get these as a Word doc. I can open the files while in Aces Connection but when I try to save or download and then open them it says that there's an error. Anyone else have this issue?

These are so fantastic. They are wonderful. We're having an ACE educational event at Mobius in Boston next month and I'm going to share these. Thank you for making these available. They are fantastic. Such good work.

Hi Jane!  Thank you so, so much for these wonderful handouts!!  I cannot express how grateful I am to have had all this important information put in to such an easy to understand format.  There are a lot of people I come into contact with who will truly benefit from these pages!

Thank you again!

Linda -- Yes, please make as many copies as you like and distribute them anywhere and everywhere. I'm glad they're useful.

Tina -- That's really good to hear, that the parents you worked with are using them.

Brenda -- I'd be interested to what your classmates think!

Wanted to let everyone know. I used the pre-edit handouts in my office. Put 25 up in a folder at the checkin station for pediatric patients and their families and in one week all 25 were gone. I saw three families with the flyer in hand on one day...

They get parents asking questions and wanting to hear more on ACEs and adversity in childhood!!!

Thank you for sharing these Jane!

Jane, I love these posters. I am putting together a workshop for children's pastors called "Trauma-Informed Churches" and this will be perfect to use. Is it okay if I copy them, leaving full credits on it, and use for a handout? 

They say so much of what is already in my workshop and in a blog post I wrote a while back. 

We really need to be educating our churches. I'm on several children's ministry closed Facebook pages and I almost go berserk when I read about bus ministries that kick kids off the bus because they won't behave or respect the adults. Arggggg. Or when a church uses the three strikes and your out policy with kids from single parent home. You know 1 strike your name goes on the board, 2nd strike your parents are called, 3rd strike you can't come back to the class for 2 weeks. Wrote a blog post about that too. 

Thanks for all you do.

Jane,

These are wonderful!  I'm SO glad to see the sexism removed from the issue.  These are ideal for parents of elementary school-aged children (and younger).  I'm going to take copies to my Couple & Family Counseling course next Thursday night.  I was talking about ACEs in class and I know there were many cohorts who had never heard of it.  Thanks also goes to Spokane's Community & Family Division for putting these together.  It really helps.
