Cheers, Jane

Thank you, Jane!

Dr. Ron Powell and Jackie Powell do a two part presentation on trauma and the science behind it. Jackie Powell then follows up with a presentation on is it sensory or behavior and then walks parents and teachers through activities. I have attached the notes from Jackie Powell's portion. I hope this helps

I love that handout Haley! Teaching parents helpful ways to interact and communicate with kids is so essential. I think there should be multiple parts that show parents how to keep their kids safe and then also how to be more loving and communicative. There is an excellent curriculm out there in preventing child sexual abuse. I would highly recommend this as well https://www.d2l.org/education/

Thank you for the steps you are taking Melissa! 

Crittenton Children's Center's, Trauma Smart model offers a comprehensive approach to helping early childhood and elementary schools become fully trauma informed organizations. The model includes a parent curriculum. You may learn more at the TraumaSmart.org website.  You may also call me at 816-767-4234. 

These are great resources. Please check out our program called Safe, Secure and Loved, designed to strengthen resilience in families facing adversity. We are centered in San Jose. We have a program for parents of babies (0-2 yes) and a two-part program for parents of preschoolers and for preschoolers (the last part of each workshop the parents and preschoolers come together). One of its most powerful aspects is that it is facilitated by the community. I appreciate the ACEs mailings especially at this time in our world.

With gratitude, barb

Hello,

The local Head Start provider in our community (Alaska) uses Trauma Smart to train staff and parents. Sounds like it's going very well!

Hi! We've launched an education campaign called Stress Health for parents/caregivers. Our website is currently a landing page that walks parents and caregivers through the impacts of adversity on the body and reminds them how powerful they can be in helping their children heal and be resilient! It offers some light tips and tools for things like breathing exercises, creating healthy sleep routines and more. A lot more content will be launching in late August but please take a look in the meantime! Visit www.StressHealth.org. 

I have been looking for ideas for a local preschool I am working with.  You all have provided such diverse ideas and resources and I didn't even have to ask.  Thanks so much...

Thank you to everyone for all the feedback and resources you shared! I am excited to look into everything as we move forward. 

Ellen - if you would like to get connected please feel free to email me at mmcpheeters@fpschools.org! It sounds like we may be making similar efforts!

I belong to an organization called Educators for Peaceful Classrooms and Communities.  We are contemplating adapting our curriculum to meet the needs of parents.  Check out our resource rich website at www.educatorsforpeacefulclassroomsandcommunities.org
