Anna Sutton and I spent a couple of hours on Friday with Lucy Roberts, Greg Bourne and Katie Kennedy from Family Hui discussing their current parenting curriculum and ways to integrate ACEs information into it. With funding from Yolo First 5, they will be revising the 12-week parenting curriculum to embed information about ACEs and resiliency practices. Right now these are for parents of children from 0-5 years but the hope is to expand to reach parents of kids of all ages.
Family Hui …Supports parents/caregivers through community-based family groups facilitated by trained peer leaders; Encourages parents and caregivers in an atmosphere of mutual respect to raise their children with loving guidance; Empowers parents/caregivers by sharing experiences, knowledge, and community resources.

We are hoping to work on the revised curriculum in the next few months and will be sure to post something when it is completed.
