  • 1.  ACES Screening

    Posted 04-12-2021 12:44
    Hello,
    Does anyone use an ACES screener for children and/or teens? I would love to connect to discuss the process you use - especially as some statements, if they apply to children could involve a CFS/Police phone call. 

    Thanks,
    Kala

    Hi Kala,
    I just posted a a full set of ACEs resources and will be adding to the folder. I have read that the use of ACEs can be problematic, as you indicate,  it can lead to having to involve the police, and it have also lead to increased stigma.
    I think it is a sensitive topic that requires context and thoughtfulness. Here is the link to the resources: love to discuss this more.
