Resources:

Here are some resources from our expert panelists that you may find useful as you explore and work on this issue:

• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) created an excellent resource to help aid in preventing adverse childhood trauma. It's a great tool if looking to present to families and educators. It offers evidence based strategies, prevalence data and statistics, articles, videos, and publications. 

• Preventing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs): Leveraging the Best Available Evidence is a good resource.

• The National Child Traumatic Stress Network offers a Trauma Toolkit for Educators.

• The book The Deepest Well is an excellent read on childhood trauma.  It’s a great book study for our schools to truly understand the “look” of trauma.  Great to increase awareness of the magnitude of trauma and how we can heal.

• Our panelist, Kacey Venning offers services to faith-based communities as well: www.kaceyvenning.com
