NEXT COMMUNITY DISCUSSION on Thursday, March 26, 2020: ACEs Connection's Cissy White will explain:
- What we are doing in our Parenting with ACEs, ACEs in Education and Practicing Resilience communities.
- How figuring out what support is right now is a challenge.
- How to grapple with anxiety, even though we know, with our knowledge about ACEs science, what’s happening, and how difficult it is to regulate.

Today, about 20 people participated in a great discussion about what several of us are doing, particularly in communities and families. We'll provide a link to the video and attach the chat in this post, when they're available, and figure out how to keep a running list of all the good ideas.
Last Friday, about 75 people gathered on a Zoom call — here's the video — to brainstorm about whether ACEs Connection should host a brainstorming/chat/hangout/informal webinar/community discussion a few days a week over the next few weeks.
The consensus was: Let's Do It! So we are.
Tuesday, March 24, 2020, at 12:00 PM Pacific/ 3:00 PM Eastern we'll convene again on a Zoom call (info below), to talk about what we've come up with so far, our plans for this week, and to get more feedback and ideas from you who attend.
Attached is the text chat, in case you want to read through it. There seemed to be great interest in how people are integrating ACEs science in domestic violence during these difficult times, as well as in child abuse, substance abuse and secondary trauma in first responders. I'm contacting some folks who can speak to those topics with an ACEs science lens.
Given the news, it looks as if we'll have plenty of chances to talk about topics, how this pandemic is adding a new approach to our work, and how we can take advantage of what we learn to create a more self-healing world.
btw, To remind us to take it easy...to be nice to ourselves...to realize that we're in for a long slog, but we'll get to the other side if we're patient and help each other, here's the tweet by Prof. Aisha Ahmad that I read on the call. It's her fabulous advice about productivity.
