Greetings all,

In Dauphin County, PA, where the Capitol Harrisburg is located, we offer all participants an anonymous and optional opportunity to complete an ACE score sheet when we are showing the Film Resilience or presenting about ACEs, Resilience and/or Trauma-Informed Approaches. We also, immediately, share the collective ACE score of the group that is receiving the presentation.  The offerings have been to educators, county employees, faith communities and others.  We also provided this opportunity when Hasshan Batts and I presented at the Philadelphia Trauma Conference. We know this is not a scientific study like the original and Philly ACE scores, but it is data which was not previously available.  We are a county where, not surprisingly, there is dysfunction. Frequently other areas of the state will not take our complex foster children because they are "more difficult than average."  Attached is the current data. 

I look forward to hearing more about how others are using the ACE score.
