I will be in the greater Detroit area the last three weekdays of August 2017 and am wondering if there are ACEs groups I could meet with or help. A lot of people know the details about ACEs. My gift is training and equipping caregivers, educators in developing the capacity to enter into the pain of a traumatized person's life.

Michigan has just launched a statewide ACEs initiative to develop trauma informed services throughout the state: Creating Healing Communities.

Good morning- I attended the launch meeting and would love to know more about the efforts to bring ACEs perspective into the world of substance abuse treatment. I'm a clinical and educational psychologist with a school psych day job and private practice, keen on getting schools to be more trauma informed. Happy to meet you, virtually and engage in the work of making schools better places to learn, work and send our children to.
Hi is this community current and active? I am a Michigan resident and am looking for ways to get involved.

I'm hoping someone in this group may be able to help because I am searching for a skilled nursing facility to conduct a qualitative study for my PhD dissertation and I am having a problem locating a site that has begun implementing trauma-informed care.
I am writing to ask if you please introduce or refer me to a facility who has begun implementing phase 3 trauma-informed care per the CMS §483.25(m) requirements.
I am a PhD student in Public Health at Walden University and I am researching nurses perspectives of implementing trauma-informed care in skilled nursing facilities. The title of my dissertation is, "Nurses Perspectives Of Trauma-Informed Care". The purpose of my study is to examine the lived experience of nurses whose skilled-nursing rehabilitation facility has adopted research-based trauma-informed care in the treatment of physically disabled patients who were subjected to Adverse Childhood Experiences/Traumatic Experiences (ACEs/TEs) and developed maladaptive coping mechanisms.
Could you please tell me who I may be able to contact to ask if they would allow me to complete my dissertation study at one of their facilities? I think the findings of my study regarding nurses perspectives about trauma-informed care could provide valuable information for SNFs to understand better nurses beliefs about using trauma-informed practices. I sincerely appreciate any assistance you can give me.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Lee Ann Blazejewski
