Therapeutic Storytelling for ACEs /Trauma Informed Care

The Virginia Department of Health/ Crater District held the Beyond ACES Summit 2017 in the City of Petersburg.  The goal was to engage and inform community about Adverse Childhood Experience and offer ways to deal with trauma.  This video captures the AND THEN There's Hope Project that brought together teens and seniors to tell the story of a city struggling  with multiple economic hardships and historic trauma.

The elders sharing “how I got over” personal stories that demonstrate resilience.  In turn, the teens will perform their ACE stories live with each story revealing what they have learned  AND how to move through difficult times, building resilience.  Our Senior and Teen  Storytellers become performers, therapeutically acting out situations and events shared in their commun
