The Practical Interventions Work Group met on Thursday, February 25th, 2016 at the Center for the Urban Child at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children. Following the December meeting in which the decision was made to organize a Philadelphia treatment resource guide by individual ACEs, Philadelphia ACE Task Force (PATF) staff attempted to develop tools to collect referral data from PATF members. The group reviewed the referral materials including the excel document that had been created to collect information from group members, one completed referral form, and a matrix of Community Behavioral Health agencies which were organized by the types of ACEs they addressed. Moving forward in the data collection phase, the group agreed to develop an online survey tool which PATF members could respond to with the agencies and organizations they would refer to when faced with a child who had experienced an ACE. This tool will be used to build a database of trauma-treatment and prevention resources for providers and the general public and will live on the PATF website once that is completed.
