“I am always so happy when I leave here… this is the best thing that ever happened to me.” Abby, 17 YES Team
Testimonies …
“…The [retreat] program has helped me with sadness. I’ve learned what I can control and what I can’t and learning that I can have peace and not chaos.” Brenna, Age 8
… this program has helped me with my parents and problems with addiction. I have learned how to cope with it better than I used to. Now I have found ways to not get so upset about it all the time and ways to think about the better things that happened.” Anonymous
“The coalition provides an opportunity for a variety of stakeholders to address concerns and arrive at solutions that best meet the needs of the communities. Youth trainings allow schools to provide supports to students which may not have happened without the CAST organization. This is a format for building leadership to collaborate and discuss emerging issues related to teens.”
Andy Corey, HB Superintendent

BRAIN ARCHITECTURE:Shaped by early experiences
Simple skills come first; complex skills build on them
Strong foundation improves odds for positive outcomes; a weak foundation
increases the odds of problems later in life
TOXIC STRESS:Unlike mild, short-lived stress that can be good for growth, certain types of
stress can weaken the brain’s architecture.
Experiences such as abuse, neglect or exposure to violence can cause toxic
stress responses in the brain, with lifelong consequences in health, learning
and behavior.

ACEs: All types of abuse, neglect, & other
potentially traumatic experiences that occur
under age 18
• Linked to risky behaviors, chronic health
conditions, decreased life potential and early
death
• The more ACEs a child experiences the more likely
they are to experience negative effects
• ACE study: 64% had 1 ACE; 12.4% had 4 or more
• Some possible risk outcomes are exhibited in
behaviors, such as smoking, alcohol use, drug use,
promiscuity and lack of physical activity; and
affecting physical and mental health, such as
obesity, diabetes, depression, suicide attempts,
sexually transmitted diseases, heart disease,
cancer, stroke, COPD, broken bones

WHAT WE WERE SEEING• Laconia police responding to incident calls like a domestic violence situation or drug overdose, had
few, if any, options to help children present in such situations.
• Police Officers not educated in trauma, unaware of resources to connect children to.
• Bulk of calls Laconia Police respond to are domestic violence related.
• Laconia Schools were seeing a high percentage of students entering Kindergarten and preschool with 4+ ACEs.
• According to a two-year survey conducted and released last year by the Resource Center for Child & Adolescent Health, 23.4 percent of New Hampshire children have been impacted by one traumatic event and 18.5 percent of children statewide have been affected by two ACEs.
Research provides compelling evidence—suggesting urgent action needed—that such traumatic experiences for children can have significant long-term negative impacts. Children experiencing such trauma are vastly more likely to model similar behavior, to themselves become abusive, use drugs, and in a range of other ways, become significantly less healthy over time. Research even shows a strong link to a broad range of physical health effects, including cancer and heart conditions.
Early intervention is absolutely vital to ensure children’s physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing. ACERT is a comprehensive and coordinated system of supports focused specifically on affected children.

• The key to forming strong brain architecture is the
“serve and return” relationships young children
have with supportive adults in their lives.
• When children reach out for connections and
communications with adults, and adults
reciprocate, this back-and-forth process
continues, literally wiring the brain with the
connections needed for healthy development.
MITIGATING THE EFFECTS OF TRAUMA

• Highly specialized interventions with families as early
as possible for children can decrease the effects of
long-term toxic stress
• Put developmental and behavioral health at the
forefront when talking about children
• Ensure safe, supportive environments and programs
for children to develop and learn
• Mitigate toxic stress and health disparities by
creating a shared vision and plan among
community members and sectors

HOW WILL WE EVALUATE?
• Steering Committee meets once a month to review process, make
changes as needed
• MOU’s between steering committee members will be reviewed as
needed for applicability and comprehensiveness
• Ongoing data tracking regarding # of referrals to ACERT, families
connected, # of referrals to programs, engagement with those
programs
• Review what gaps still exist and create plan to address them
• Track how many 1st responders and other service providers are trained
in ACEs

Group Discussion
• In small groups, assign a note-taker and reporter for the group and engage in the following:
– Discuss and record additional ACE activities, need
priorities and barriers that exist in your community
prevention work
– Identify ACE-related prevention efforts that you feel
should be a priority in your community/network. What
readiness steps are needed for implementation?
– Determine a “short list” of topics you are interested in
learning more about in order to expand your ACEs work.
