Re: Fantastic opportunity: Brain Builders Lab
The opening remarks for this conference were live streamed on Facebook. Here is the link. https://www.facebook.com/CCSA....2MkbZQuM_qF4fCSvuwuw This is a good indication of the state of the ACEs movement in the Canadian establishment. Very much in initial steps except in Alberta. I look forward to hearing what Denise has to add. Anyone interested in joining our grassroots collaborators let me know. We're starting to gather and would love to have you along. Elizabeth

Talking ACEs in Nova Scotia
Mark your calendars for Feb. 11 at 9 pm AST. I was recently interviewed for a radio show called Mental Health - Let's Talk About It. The show is live streamed via http://www.cioe975.ca/wp/97-5-listen-live/ so everyone can access it wherever you are. I've been talking ACEs in Nova Scotia for over 4 years against much resistance. This was the first opportunity I have been invited to speak. I think what I said will be helpful to those who listen.
