Tip sheet for parents and teachers on recognizing trauma

Does this help, Joel? (See attachment.)

This is a great handout and I will provide it for adaptation by the school if they want.  Also giving a lecture this week on DV and Trauma and it can be one of my handouts.  Thanks Louise!

Thanks for posting this handout, Lou. 

I have just one concern about it. It focuses primarily on violence.

The ACE Study identifies other types of trauma that can result in the same behavior. And some people, including pediatricians, are using ACE surveys with additional questions, some of which aren't violence and don't just happen in the family.   

I'll put the question out on Monday's daily digest to see if there are other offerings.

We're modifying a handout that some public health nurses are using in Spokane, WA, (changing some of the graphics). We should have it available later this week, and will post it here, too. 

 

Jane,

That would be AWESOME!  I will plan on sharing it with some of my county PTA safety officers, who should (!!!) disseminate it to all the schools around our county.  I want to start being more proactive when it comes to educating the masses about ACEs.  Now that Maryland is going to collect ACE data on the BRFSS in 2015, it's only a matter of time before the dominos start falling into place here.  I'm excited to see this.  And thankful for the wonderful resources here on ACES Connection.  I mentioned this group when I met with Dr. Anda in a workshop at the Mid-Atlantic Conference on Child Abuse in Annapolis on Monday.  I hope more Marylanders will join soon.

Thanks for all your support, Brenda! 

We should have the handout finished in the next few days.

I'll post a link to it here, and also include it in a few groups.

 

Attached are a couple of handouts that I give to teachers. The second one has some warning signs to look for. The first is just a nice compact view of trauma informed care.

Thank you so much, Lee.

 

We are currently implementing a training and coaching model at Sally Ride Elementary School and the tip sheet for elementary students is extremely helpful.

Jane, did the Spokane document ever get posted? Thx, Joel

OK -- the previous three versions of the handout had some text problems.

We fixed them. Here are the new ones.

My apologies!!

 

Thank you Jane! I'm going to take these in for the teachers in my school. Since I presented on trauma and their students in early January, the resources I leave out for them have been getting snatched up. 

Interesting! Let me know how they like this one.

Thanks, Lee.

 

Jane,

I passed these tip sheets out tonight at my Couples and Family Course.  My classmates received them well and were reading them during class.  I hope we've got some new recruits when it comes to educating parents, and our community about ACEs.  Certainly my Johns Hopkins professor was on board since she gave me permission to hand them out!  If I get more questions or comments, I'll post them here.  Felt good to advocate for psychoeducation with families in my program.  Brenda

       
       


This is so true and if you are in a doc office and you were not really aware of trauma but you put these out at check-in I guarantee they will be gone faster than you can blink and eye and before you know it parents are wanting more info. These need to somehow be emailed to every pedi and fp and OB office in America!
