Resources

Good morning Colette - 

There is a resource we sell quite often to organizations. It's our ACE Conversation card. It's guided at a variety of audiences, but the goal remains the same: assist healthcare providers, law enforcement professionals, etc. in having a conversation with parents about toxic stress and long term health.

If you want more information about this and other resources we have in regard to ACE and child maltreatment, please reach out! I'd love to have a conversation with you and help out! 

Regards,

Colette,

The heart of our program at Good Harbor Institute is translating evidenced based research on trauma/adversity into skills which can be used immediately by non-clinicians. We understand acting and speaking in a trauma informed way to build resilience is like speaking a new language. We provide the skills to learn this language and practice it every setting- work, home, the line at the grocery store. When learning a new language it is essential it is practiced beyond the classroom if fluency is ever to be achieved. Additionally, in our program integrate the "three environments" of care, which are client care, self-care, and team care. We have worked with human resource organizations, private companies, as well as; non-profit organizations. 

Please let me know if we can be of support.

Hi Collette,

Our local community college picks an 'Book of the Year'  each year. They ask that it be a topic that applies to as many of their programs and clubs as possible. I proposed the book Childhood Dysrupted by Donna Jackson Nakazawa. I took their course catalogue and gave them a bibliography on how the ACE's apply to most of their programs. If you would like a copy of the bibliography feel free to email me d.iverson1@gmail.com. 

Specifically with regard to childhood maltreatment the University of Maryland has a program called Family Informed Trauma Therapy http://fittcenter.umaryland.edu/

Following the work of Bessel Van der Kolk my current focus has been trying to get the Creative (also called Expressive) Therapies recognized by my state so that they can get in the reimbursement system. (Currently only Social Workers and Art Therapist licenses are recognized). Education for these is changing. In the U.S. There are two universities that offer PhD level programs. Drexel offers an Creative Therapies degree. Leslie offers an Expressive Therapies degree. I am a Case Manager. I am always looking for resources that touch other parts of the brain than just talk therapy. One of the most valuable online resources comes from the field of Psychodrama   http://ac-ts.com/

Hi Collette...

This may be of great interest to you:

Hi Collette,

     One week after NHS QI published their first edition of the [weekly] E-newsletter "The Edge", they had subscribers in 56 nations. I don't know if they are still 'publishing', or to what extent 'trauma-informed' has been a topic, but it may also be worth a perusal.

Hi, Colette: In our Resources Center, there's a list of in-person and online training resources for individuals, organizations and communities on how to become trauma-informed. 

Thank-you all, I appreciate you all taking the time to come back to me and share - it is really great to feel so supported by like-minded people. I have attached a couple of research articles that I hope may be of interest to you all too,

Regards,

Colette
