Two nationally recognized speakers on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and their impacts on children and adults will headline the Raising Resilient Oklahomans! March 7. The summit, which is open to the public, will run from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn and Edmond Conference Center, located at Covell and U.S. Interstate 35.
While their discussions will address one of the most serious health care crises facing the nation, Dr. Robert Anda and Susan Craig, Ph.D., will focus on helping Oklahoma communities and professionals to adopt more resilient practices in caring for families.
“They will stress that trauma-informed care needs to be carefully designed, coordinated and expanded across multiple disciplines if we are going to achieve real and sustained improvements in social mobility and community health,” said Craig Knutson, president and CEO of the Potts Family Foundation, which is hosting the conference.
