Editor's Notes
- Personal introduction and overview of agency’s involvement in TIC Introduce myself and how I got to be standing in front of you all today (my path to TIC ) Ask participants level of knowledge regarding ACEs and what they would like to gain from this presentation
- Through the GPACE Survey we asses these areas to our incoming Kindergarten students. More recent studies include additional categories of -Bullying -Loss of a parent or family member -Deportation/immigration -Serious medical procedure/life threatening illness -discrimination due to race, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, religion -stressful pregnancy (Center for Youth Wellness 2015) Why do we care about this as a district and as a community
- The short and long term impacts of high ACE scores on our students’ physical and mental health (and their educational success as well). With an ACE score of 4 or more. People with high ACE scores are more likely to be violent, to have more marriages, more broken bones, more drug prescriptions, more depression, and more autoimmune diseases. People with an ACE score of 6 or higher are at risk of their lifespan being shortened by 20 years.
- EDUCATIONALLY lower test scores Lower Academic progress Higher discipline rate Lower graduation rate
- GPACE This is just some of the Data were able to collect. The most beneficial to our School Support Team is the ability to preplan for our student’s Social Emotional needs
- We will be discussing ACES that fall under the umbrella of Trauma. Discuss daily, situations and vicarious traumas. (volcanoes, community fires,) You take a lot home with you as a teacher, CPS worker, social worker, EMT, firefighter, police officer.
- J is a student in the Geneva city school district. Due to things that were done to J, this child came to us completely dysregulated and communicating with some very difficult behaviors. Due to J’s disrupted brain development and stuggle to be safe and age appropriate, J was not making academic progress and a daily goal for J was to stay in school. Long term educational planning was needed to be talked about and it was looking like out of district/possibly a residential program would need to be considered. With the ability to put a Trauma focused strategies in place, (sensory path, calming room, social emotional education) currently J is progressing academically, and is making great strides with peer relations. While that is an extreme case, we have many of students that have had the opportunity to learn strategies to help them regulate their behavior to help them make appropriate choices. The real story is the shift with the teachers. Having the ability to have help and support both in the minute and in the long term has helped empower them to meet the children where they are and offer them what they need.

- CDC-Kaiser Permanente Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study is one of the largest investigations into the correlation between childhood abuse and neglect and later-life health and well-being. Study was conducted at Kaiser Permanente from 1995-1997 with 2 waves of data collection . 17,337 employed adult members of the Kaiser Health Plan in the study Explored childhood precursors of health risk behaviors, disability, diseases into adulthood and premature mortality. The CDC researchers saw an opportunity to consider the role a wider array of “adverse childhood experiences” play in the origins of high priority health, behavioral, and social problems. In our parable it was like our fisherman diving into the stream to save the one person only to have to do the same over again. Essentially they went upstream. Resulted in the categorization of 10 ACEs
