Work Group Notes

The purpose of the ACEs Trauma Informed Community of Education Practitioners is to develop a community of Trauma Informed professionals and implement a robust system of resources that supports the needs of a variety of practitioners. Our goal is to help all school-based professionals and those who partner with schools to understand the physiological impact of trauma on the developing learner, recognize the potential paths for healing and what schools can do to support children, and advocate for the adoption of trauma informed school based practices throughout the state.. In this community we believe learning and doing are essential to impact our children, our educators, and our communities. Our group focuses on the following:

Awareness
Approaches
Tools and Strategies
Events, Professional development opportunities, etc
