We had a great meeting with our local Human Services Coordinating Committee today.  It was a great opportunity to reach out to others.  

We also received the opportunity to put our survey monkey community ACEs Survey on the Alpena Public Schools Facebook Page which will give us a great opportunity to reach out for a more comprehensive local ACEs survey as they recently had 50,000 views.   

The powerpoint for the Presentation is below in the attachments with the videos embedded in the presentation. Feel Free to Use (there does need to be credits for the ACEs slides added).  But it is great to spread the word. 

The presentation is organized to:

1. Introduce our local Facebook Page 

Northeast Michigan Trauma Informed Community Action Group

2. Why a trauma-informed community would be of value to service agencies

3. The importance and simplicity of the ACE Study (I specifically chose the ACE study Dose-Dependent Slides that would be revenant to the service agencies present). 

4. Highlights of the work we have done so far in our community especially with the schools and with our Local ACEs survey. 

5. Higa Godwin's Video on Trauma Informed Schools and 

6. An Introduction to the Northern Michigan ACEs Action Group on ACEsConnection

It was a great meeting!!!
