ISO Trauma aware curriculum

Hi Monica! 

You've touched upon an often overlooked issue - the intersection between childhood adversity / behavior / metabolism. 

Here is a slide set I co presented - not exactly what you are seeking - but some parts might be useful.  Use as you wish!   Exploring the Intersection Between Perinatal Substance Use and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) 

Also attached a rough slide deck with various journal articles linking ACEs, obesity, etc.  Use as you wish. 

Please see the two attached documents are from Oregon - there is the training guide and the post test.  

Here is a link to WIC WORKS Policy Futures

I hope this is helpful!

Please consider sharing your learnings - journey - process - outcomes - etc. as you develop your public health nutrition program!  You are a trend-setter! 

All my best,
Karen

Thanks Karen.  Come check out the ACES and Nourishment Community on ACES Connection. We hope to have more discussions around the intersection of ACES, obestity, and nutrition.

I have had great feedback so far on this. The kids love it and so do I. Basically, it makes teens aware of the link between behavior and link it to what's going on at home.

What I can do depends on how much time I have. Usually it's been an hour. So this is a brief, one hour intervention meant to make them more aware. Interesting but the feedback from the event showed that the kids not only loved it, they told the counselors no one had ever asked how they were coping. 

The target here was YMCA teen leaders from the southeast. They are all part of Leader's club. So it was not a group of kids in poverty. But it was a group of kids affected by the heroin epidemic, neglect etc

Thank you, Anne. This is a great exercise.

Is Charles your son? I am sorry for your tragedy. Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you Monica. And yes, Charles was my son. He died by suicide three years ago. And I sold my partnership in my business and focused on suicide prevention and all the aspects that trigger it, full time. Thanks for asking.
