Next "A Better Normal" community discussion series: April 9, 2020 — Ingrid Cockhren, Joshunda Sanders on inequities in healthcare | Becoming Trauma-Informed & Healing Centered

^{Dave Granlund}

This week, we're hosting two more 'A Better Normal' discussions: on Thursday, April 9; and Friday, April 10, 2020....12 pm PT/ 1 pm MT/ 2 pm CT/ 3 pm ET.

Thursday, April 9, 2020
Ingrid Cockhren, ACEs Connection community facilitator and DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) expert, and Joshunda Sanders, freelance journalist and author (The Beautiful Darkness: A Handbook for Orphans), lead a conversation focused on the inequities in our healthcare system and how those inequities are being exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This discussion will highlight current disparities in treatment, access and care and the future implications of this pandemic for communities of color and other underserved populations.

Friday, April 10, 2020
Judy Knapp, director of PreventionWORKS in El Dorado County, CA, does primary violence-prevention education in schools and throughout the El Dorado County, CA, community, and is co-founder of El Dorado ACES Collaborative. She'll lead a conversation about domestic violence, and how she integrates an approach based on ACEs science. It's an approach that she began in 1998, when the first publication about the CDC-Kaiser Permanente Adverse Childhood Experiences Study came out.

Here's an update about yesterday's call with Dr. Tian Dayton, which was Zoom-bombed.

It happened about five minutes into the call. Giving details about the hack serves the hacker, so we won't go there. Alison Cebulla, our moderator, shut the call down temporarily. Eight people out of 42 rejoined.

"I hope the people who left and did not come back are okay," said Carey Sipp, the ACEs Connection Community Facilitator who hosted the call. "I hope they were not triggered by this assault by an anonymous person bent to spread hatred and disrupt order. I hope it did't ruin their day, or set their recovery back."

By continuing the webinar, those who rejoined turned a horribly jarring moment into a magnifying glass to see what ACEs had been touched or codependent behaviors had been activated, she said.

Dayton, whose gentle way and calming voice has been balm to many in her videos and books, encouraged participants to ground themselves and get back into our bodies:

"Breathe."

" Look for the helpers."

" Look for order."

" As we deal with the disruption of the COVID-19 virus, have a schedule, eat well, exercise, find time to enjoy nature," she said, recommending many of the behaviors we've heard and read about for resilience-building.

"It looked as though some of us were a little jangled," Carey said, "but as we talked and helped each other, a community of sorts was formed. We talked past the hour originally planned for the call."

We will provide a recording of the call — minus the hack — soon.

Thank you for your patience.
