The Alberta Champions for Children is a community committed to creating an ACEs Aware and Resilience Informed Alberta. We work together to grow understanding of how childhood trauma can affect a person’s social, mental, and physical health across the lifespan and are committed to inspiring a Province that is able to meet individual’s with the compassion needed to break the cycle of intergeneratio

“We have the capacity, within ourselves, to create better health," writes Donna Jackson Nakazawa. We can improve our health no matter what our ACE score. Learn resilience practices that reduce stress hormones in our bodies & brains. Understand how pain, shame & trauma make self-healing harder. Explore research & resources. Share stories, struggles & successes. Practice resilience.

Films have been instrumental in helping us understand individual, generational, and historical trauma - and healing. Documentaries can inspire and inform public policy and system-level change as well and that is why ACEs Connection, CTIPP, and the Relentless School Nurse have come together to stream documentaries from this community site , quarterly, starting in September of 2020.
