As a philanthropist, your passion for building just, healthy, resilient communities is evident. Until recently, we have been missing critical information that can help us develop best practices to achieve such a goal.
Today, the science is clear – adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and trauma can impact the brain and body, contributing to a host of negative outcomes in all aspects of life. Some effects can even be passed from generation to generation. In the last two decades, we have come to understand that ACEs and trauma are pervasive and distributed inequitably among vulnerable communities.
The good news is that trauma-informed, healing-centered practice can hold the keys to preventing and mitigating these impacts. Researchers, service providers, philanthropists, policymakers, community residents, and others are coming together to build a movement for resilient communities, improving outcomes in areas as divergent as health care, education, and criminal justice.
In partnership with the Scattergood Foundation, the eXtension Foundation is providing an exclusive 10-month learning series opportunity focused on how philanthropists can use ACEs and trauma science to improve community outcomes.
This series will guide the conversation around how communities can deploy resources in creative ways to build knowledge and capacity throughout the human-serving field. The series will be delivered in three parts, each of which will include two educational webinars and one interactive learning circle:
Part I: Using ACEs and Trauma Science for More Effective Practice
March, April, May, 2020
In Part I, we will explore:
The science behind ACEs, trauma, toxic stress, resilience, and healing, and
What it means to be trauma-informed and how individuals, organizations, and communities can implement practices that reflect this knowledge
Webinar 1: An Introduction to Adverse Childhood Experience (ACEs) and Trauma Science
March 11th, 2020
3 PM - 4 PM EST
Presented by: Dr. Donielle Prince
ACEs Connection San Francisco Bay Area Community Facilitator
Registration Deadline: March 10th, 2020
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Define key concepts related to the science of:
- ACEs, trauma, toxic stress, and early life stress; and
- Healing, resilience, and protective factors
- Explain how ACEs and trauma science is relevant to their work
- Describe the implications of ACEs and trauma science for individuals, families, organizations, communities, and systems
