ACEs/toxic stress color wheel for schools!
Featured in the documentary Paper Tigers
In the documentary Paper Tigers, a stress target -- or color wheel is featured. It is in Principal Jim Sporleder's office at Lincoln High School. Because the steering group members of the Yolo Resilience Network in Yolo County, CA realized they needed some tools, they created their own version of the ACEs/toxic stree color wheel.
It was created by ACEs Connection Network graphic designer, who happens to be a member of the Yolo Resilience Network. If you would like a copy, link to the Story at ACE Connection Network and you can dowload the PDF. Also join the movement to prevent ACEs, heal trauma,build resilience.

What are ACEs?
"ACEs are adverse childhood experiences that harm children’s developing brains so profoundly that the effects show up decades later; they cause much of chronic disease, most mental illness, and are at the root of most violence.
“ACEs” comes from the CDC-Kaiser Adverse Childhood Experiences Study, a groundbreaking public health study that discovered that childhood trauma leads to the adult onset of chronic diseases, depression and other mental illness, violence and being a victim of violence. The ACE Study has published about 70 research papers since 1998. Hundreds of additional research papers based on the ACE Study have also been published."

"A key piece of Lincoln High School's success was not only the work of teachers and administrators working directly with the students, but also of the community's desire to help change the way their youths were being treated. After the shift of thinking and working with these students began, Lincoln saw a 90 percent decrease in suspensions, a 75 percent decrease in fights and a five-fold increase in graduation rates."
