To prevent ACEs using a data-driven, cross-sector and systemic strategy, the book Anna, Age Eight: The data-driven prevention of childhood trauma and maltreatment will be most useful. It is available free-of-charge to download here: www.AnnaAgeEight.org

I would like to become more involved with this groups community activities...can anyone inform me how?

I would like to connect with anyone in this community, who is delivering Trauma-Informed Care to Adults and utilizing the ACE study as a platform. To this date, I have not found anyone who wants to connect with me. I am an LMHCA & CDP with a private practice who would like to provide workshops in the community. Please contact me if you are interested! Respectfully, Alfred awhite@seattlerecovery.org

I would like to partner with anyone or a clinician to provide workshops and presentations to our Adult community on Resiliency?

I hope more Native Americans join this workshop!

Great suggestion, Rhonda! We have two communities on ACEs Connection: Tribal Communities of Northern California and Native Americans (National lens), however we do not have a WA state community - where we can share WA specific information with those who may be interested. Please let me know if this may be something you'd like consider - I am here to support related efforts in WA state. With gratitude, Karen
