On May 18th, the Alaska Resilience Initiative, First Alaskans Institute's Alaska Native Policy Center, and the Native Village of Chickaloon hosted a gathering of Alaska Native and Native American people from across the state to discuss ACCCEs (adverse childhood, cultural, and community experiences) and resilience.
Thank you so much to First Alaskans staff for facilitating, and to the brilliance and passion that each attendee brought with them into the conversation. Once notes are able to be processed and turned into a document that explores themes and major recommendations, this will be posted here, with the idea that all kinds of organizations, coalitions, tribes, businesses, and others can benefit from the knowledge.
Furthermore, work will continue from this group to shape trauma prevention and healing efforts in Alaska, including updating the training of ACEs/Resilience trainers.
