You know an issue has momentum when Oprah is talking about it.

You know an issue has momentum when Oprah is talking about it.

In a 60 Minutes segment aired in March 2018, Oprah talks about the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and a trauma-informed approach. She described the story as one that had “more impact on me than practically anything I’ve ever done.” That’s a lot coming from Oprah!

As we pass the 20-year anniversary of the publication of the original Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study, the landmark study that demonstrated the relationship between childhood trauma and adult health outcomes and behaviors, the resilience-building movement continues to grow.

Since that time, we have seen additional studies that have expanded the ACE framework to include other sources of toxic stress such as community violence and racism. We have also seen the framework applied to different populations and communities across the globe.

In the midst of all of this momentum, we are excited to announce the online version of The Basics training. This 90-minute training provides an overview of the key concepts that establish a foundation for a trauma-informed and resilience-building approach.
