9:30 – 11:00 am (CDT) Keynote Address / Q&A ACE’s, OK, What Now?
Stacey Gagnon, Trainer, Speaker, and Director, Trauma Lens Care — Stacey Gagnon, nationally known speaker, foster mom, adoptive mom, blogger, educator, trainer, and co-founder of Trauma Lens Care https://traumalenscare.org/ answers the question posed in the title of her presentation. What happens after we have learned about adverse childhood experiences (ACE’s) and determined that the person in front of us has experienced numerous ACEs? How do we carry out the recommended trauma-informed approach? How do we take the science of ACEs and translate it into action in support of those with high numbers of ACEs?
Preventing trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) – creating conditions so that they never happen — is powerful and transformational for families and communities. This year’s forum focuses on some of the partnerships that are needed to make it happen.
While we are all partnering to eliminate ACEs in the future, we also realize that ACEs are here and must be dealt with in the present time. Today’s child abuse prevention advocates always pair “going upstream” to prevent problems with a strong commitment to providing trauma-informed care to those who need it. Stacey Gagnon’s opening session keynote address, ACEs, OK, What Now? will help us learn about how to fulfill this part of the field’s commitment.
