So you know about ACEs...Turn your AHA! into Action!

On 60 minutes this week, Oprah discussed the need to take action in the Trauma-Informed Care movement. For governmental agencies, service providers, and even community members, just asking the questions on Adverse Childhood Experiences is not enough. While it shifts the conversation towards understanding, it does not shift the underlying assumptions about health and behavioral outcomes for clients including homelessness, academic, and mental and physical health. She has become a Resilience Champion, advocating for the integration of shifting to asking the question “'What happened to you?' not 'What is wrong with you?'”

Origins Training & Consulting supports this shift and is offering a 6-week course starting on April 30th for YOU to teach the key concepts of taking a resilience-building and trauma-informed approach with the goal of overcoming the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences and other sources of trauma. The topics apply to both personal and professional settings and can be used in a variety of environments including education, social work, law enforcement, administration, church, community groups, advocacy, families, the list goes on and on…

Each week includes a self-paced online learning session (approximately 30-45 minutes) that includes video and discussion posts. We also offer opportunities to meet with a resilience coach one-on-one throughout the course. Each session covers content and incorporates activities and practical tools to support the everyday application of resilience practices. We also share concrete, cross-sector examples of interventions that have worked and real-life stories of resilience.

Through a combination of instructional, interactive, and experiential learning processes, Champions will leave with their own, personalized, translation of how to lead, in their setting, on a path to resilience.

EARLY registration promo available until March 30th and GROUP rates available to info@originstraining.org.

Andi, you are doing great work and I encourage others to tap into this offer.

Thank you Mary. We are enjoying learning about all of the amazing work already being done and creating a space for people to share (like acesconnection) their journey. We are taking it one step further and encouraging reflection and self-growth and semi-structured discussions to add depth to the breadth of content. The therapist in me is loving the journey!
