San Diego Regional Center Trainings
Last Thursday I was able to participate in San Diego Regional Center’s Training entitled, “ From Biography to Treatment: Supporting Individuals with IDD Who Struggle with the Effects of Trauma.” I was very excited to learn how teams coordinating care for individuals with IDD could use biographical timelines.

By Casey Gwinn, The San Diego Union-Tribune, November 14, 2019 In 2002, during my tenure as the San Diego city attorney, we opened the nationally acclaimed San Diego Family Justice Center.

Across the United States, including in San Diego where the Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice (Kroc IPJ) launched the Building Trust Partnership (BTP), relationships between communities and law enforcement are strained and plagued by mistrust.

Showing UP for Sophia: Dear John,
Dear John, Watching Marriage Story on New Year’s Eve was the ending I needed to witness in order to understand our own. Like Charlie and Nicole, we have history, we share a child, and we both want our child to be raised in an environment where she can thrive. While our similarities don’t stop there, the difference in how their ending started inspired me to follow suit. A mediator encouraged them to write a note of positivity to remember why they got married (together) in the first place.

Re: Paper Tigers free screening
AUGGH!! I've been hoping/ wanting to see this, ever since I missed the first showing (out of town)--- and now, it conflicts with tomorrow's crucial meeting at church!! Any chance there will be an additional screening coming up? And/or, will it be available in any other way soon (e.g., online??) Thanks! Blessings, Linda K.

Re: Paper Tigers free screening
I understand, Linda - I can't attend either! I do know that the Paper Tigers website has listings for showings around the country and/or there is the option of "renting" the DVD for your own viewing (kind of expensive for just one person - I think its around $200). Hopefully others who do local screenings will post it on ACEs Connection and you'll be able to attend:-)
