Re: RIS for ACE Response Online Workshop
I just started this course and completed the first module. Even though I'm pretty familiar with the ACE Study, it was good review. I was less familiar with the Restorative Integral Support. It seems like a useful model for addressing ACEs at individual, programmatic, systemic and community levels. There are lists of additional online resources included as well as the base course information. The information is a mix of video, reading online and reading articles - nice mix.

Re: RIS for ACE Response Online Workshop
Thank you for sharing your review of the course, Tory. I'm glad to hear that you've found it helpful so far and have become more familiar with the RIS model. It is a unique and useful model with a wide range of potential applications. The model provides a sort of comprehensive map of the "whole" person in environment, which social work in particular strives to address.

Message from our CEO, Ingrid Cockhren: PACEs is Sunsetting eff. April 26th
Hello partners, members, and friends, It is with mixed emotions that I am sharing that PACEs Connection will be sunsetting all operations effective Friday, April 26.

At the same time, this presents an exciting opportunity for PACEs to reemerge stronger than ever. Although we intended a seamless transition,...
