The state of Tennessee in the USA has a comprehensive programme to build strong brains by reducing ACEs and combating toxic stress in children and youth. A really positive tone of the programme is that it emphasises Hope by reinforcing that while ACEs science is a FACT it is not FATE.
The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) website has a series of 6 short videos outlining the various components. The last 2 videos show how to get buy-in for your initiative from law enforcement agencies, state agencies, and community members in order to make a Community ACEs Initiative a success.
Create a team or assemble your existing team and set aside 30 minutes for each of the episodes. A few extra minutes for discussion and this could be a virtual project watch party right there!
