Hello,
Our county trauma education team presented to our county court & probation officers. They are wondering who is using an ACE screen in their onboarding process and what your process is once ACES are identified as an issue.
Thanks,
Deb

Hey Deb! My first questions is always "what is the purpose of doing the screen? and what is the plan with the information?" I ask, because often we don't really need to screen, we need to put into play universal precautions (we can assume that all adults have had something) and then ask what is it we are trying to accomplish and how do we keep staff and clients safe so as to not re-traumatize? What frameworks and tools are in place once you ask for the information?
This is a great question. What to do after you have a ACE score for a person or child. I find this lacking or not easy to find on this PACES website. Actual internal emotional healing is little understood or promoted except for the standard counseling and talk therapy. But Trauma and stress are not some Woo Woo magic that only mystic authorities can know or address. People get wounded quite easily and if you can reverse the process then healing happens quickly. This is what I teach adults but it can be adapted for children as well.
