Cleveland area ACE initiatives?

Jennifer Boyle-King 2/6/158:52 AM

Hi all,

I was born and raised in Cleveland and recently returned to the area after living Philadelphia for 4 years while working on my doctorate at UPenn. I studied clinical social work and complex trauma in children. I was involved in some trauma-informed initiatives in Philadelphia, and am wondering what sort of opportunities exist in Cleveland? Anyone doing ACE-based work in the area?

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hi Jennifer- Last year the Ohio Dept. Of Mental Health and Addiction Services renewed a committment to fostering trauma-informed care in Ohio. Consequently, they are working to establish a statewide network with regional groups to accomplish their goal. A second statewide conference is being planned for this spring (June?), and other activities are underway. If you would like more information about this, please contact Kim Kehl at OMHAS- he is the state cooridinator: Kim.kehl@mha.ohio.gov. Best, Steve Stone

Jennifer, the Midwest Summit on ACEs could be a great opportunity to learn and network. Check it out on the calendar. Elizabeth

Hi, Jennifer -- Another way to see if anyone's doing ACE work in Cleveland is to search members using the Map view. That way you can find people near you.

Cheers, Jane
