RONAN — On Saturday, April 22, from 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at SAFE Harbor, 63506 U.S. Highway 93, Teresa Nygaard will present “Utilizing Aces & Trauma Informed Care.” Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) is a term to describe traumatic events occurring before age 18. Trauma is a deeply distressing or disturbing experience that without supports can have long-term negative effects. When “we” are trauma-informed, we realize the impact of trauma and understand there is potential for recovery. We recognize the signs and symptoms of trauma in those that we interact with, and in ourselves. We respond by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into procedures, policies, and practices. We seek to actively resist re- traumatization. We stop asking “what’s wrong with you?” and begin asking “what’s happened to you?” This training delves into this topic, responding to participants based on their pre-existing knowledge of the topic. Credits are available. The training is free but registration is required. To register, send name, email, and contact number to helpinghandsfund1@gmail.com. Registration confirmation will be sent within seven days.
