The value of ACEs Connection? It has increased our capacity, allowed me to be global, and given me the confidence to continue the work.

Hi. I’m Audravette Jackson, the Hampton Rhodes Trauma Informed Community Network Program Coordinator. I am excited to share why ACEs Connection is a valuable website for other program coordinators and community managers like myself.

First, the ACEs Connection website has allowed us to increase our capacity by including another web presence online, as well [learning] the governance structure of the growing resilience communities that we follow for Hampton Rhodes Trauma Informed Community Network.

Second, ACEs Connection has allowed me to be global in this short time since March (2020). I have attended meetings and trainings in Wisconsin, Minnesota, California, and even Alaska to learn how other communities across the globe are creating a more trauma informed environment.

I am excited and very grateful to ACEs Connection for being a lifeline during the time when I first started my position. It has really given me the confidence to continue the work.

Please make your tax-deductible donation to ACEs Connection today! Help us reach our goal of raising $50,000 from our members, so it will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, by a generous anonymous donor. Meeting the goal means we'll raise a total of $100,000 to help prevent ACEs, heal trauma, and build resiliency. Every donation helps. Questions? Please contact Carey Sipp at csipp@acesconnection.com.
