ACES and healthcare for adults in search for colleagues

I just entered the ACE Connection. I am very deligted to meet you! In 2010 I was the one who invited Vincent Felitti to the Netherlands and since that year the ACE Studies are more known in the Netherlands.

However: most colleagues and work is focused on youth, childcare , parents, school and prevention.

The Centre for Late Effects of Chronic Early Childhood Traumatization (CELEVT), where I am the founder and director, is focusing on the best possible integrated trauma treatment (both psychological al fysical and social) for adults.

I am looking for colleagues for inspiration, discussion, innovation, etc. to join our experiences and the possibility of working together.

At the moment we are making an e-learning program on the ACE Study, resilience, health costs and early screening for adults for healthcare workers, assurance companies and governmental organizations.

We are also preparing innovations for the best possible trauma treatment, research and innovation. We also tend to do public policy and for that: in the Netherlands we can learn a lot from our colleagues abroad!

Thanks!

Christine Cissy WhiteIt's not trauma-informed unless it's informed by trauma survivors.

Welcome Martijne:

I'm so glad you are here. Have you browsed/explored the Groups at all? I manage the Parenting with ACEs Group and we would love to have you join our growing group. We focus on how ACEs impact parents and parenting knowing the presence or absence of ACEs has great impact on many aspects of parenting.

We believe discussing and sharing the lived experience of parenting with ACEs is healing and beneficial. We believe the failure to listen to, partner with and have parents lead or co-lead trauma-informed programs or policies have questionable benefit. We exist, in part, to build partnerships with parents and professionals (knowing many in the group are both).

We consider how ACEs have impacted our own parents and communities as well as our own personal lives. We know that being ACE-informed as adults is likely to make us healthier and happier people and parents. We know we can't change the past but we also believe we can change the extent of the impact it has and we can sure as heck change the future.

Parenting with ACEs is just one group but there are many others that might interest you.

We are glad to have you here.

Cissy

Hello Martijne:

I would be very interested in information related to adults that experienced ACEs. I've had clients that we misdiagnosed because no one had ask questions related to ACEs.
