Do you ever see a post from us and wonder about ACEs? Want to educate your friends? We can help!
For free, ARI can lend you an hour-long documentary (Resilience: The Biology of Stress and the Science of Hope) about the history of ACE science and early years of the Resilience movement, as well as a hard or soft copy of the movie’s discussion guide.
This guide (https://www.recharge4resilienc...uide%20-%20FINAL.PDF) created in partnership with the Alaska Children's Trust and other organizations, will help you develop a solid foundation of ACE and Resilience history. It walks you through several key aspects of the film and provides important supplementary information to make sure you get the most of your screening! Everyone who watches Resilience can apply newly earned knowledge to everyday activities – from the office to the classroom, and even inside your homes.
If you want to take advantage of this amazing (and free!) tool, please contact Vicki (vlewis@alaskachildrenstrust.org).
Additionally, after your group has learned about the science and history, the Alaska Resilience Initiative offers a chance to see theories come to life. Paper Tigers, the ‘sequel’ to Resilience, documents the transition of a high school in Washington and impacts trauma-informed practices had on students.
Paper Tigers is a great follow up to Resilience, but the set can also be used in reverse order to peak interest and then explain science. And, Paper Tigers is also free to borrow – just contact Claudia (intern1@alaskachildrenstrust.org).
