I am a graduate student in the Philippines and I wanted to start an ACE advocacy here in the local setting. However, I need to be more equipped about the subject matter (although I attended a few seminars related to ACE, i.e TIC) I still need to be, in a way, trained. Is there any ACE training/workshop scheduled in the asia - pacific region where I can attend. It would really help me and my advocacy here in the Cebu, Philippines. Thank you very much.

Hi Reymart,
Several people on ACEs Connection are located in the Philippines! And a couple of people have expressed an interest in starting an ACEs community locally. So there is interest, but a group has not yet formed, as far as I am aware.
On the ACEs Connection home page, there is a link to Mapping the Movement which shows where ACEs communities are located, globally.
Additionally, check out the ACEs Connection calendar to see if any of the upcoming events may be of interest.
Looking at our archives, I found THIS article THIS article, and THIS article too. I am glad you're reaching out and seeking the information you need!
I hope this information is encouraging! Please keep us updated on your efforts!

Hi Reymart. I am so excited to see your post. I lived in the Philippines for 3 years while building an orphanage. Last year I started trying to connect with people there that were familiar with ACEs. Fortunately, I found one Psychologist in the Angeles City, Pampanga area. We started an ACE program for the children at the orphanage. We would love to connect with you. Feel free to email me at sherist@me.com. I look forward to hearing from you.
