Ardmore Behavioral Health Collaborative hoping to conduct more ACEs training sessions
The Daily Ardmoreite
In 1995, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and Kaiser Permanente began studying adverse childhood experiences, and its effects on issues in adulthood. Over 17,000 people completed a survey regarding their childhood experiences and current health and behavior, and the study showed a correlation between adverse childhood expereinces and future high-risk behavior and health complications.
Ardmore Behavioral Health Collaborative has been working to raise awareness of ACEs and mitigate their effects by building a better trauma informed community. Earlier this month, United Way of South Central Oklahoma partnered with two certified community resilience trainers, Ellen Roberts, Director of the Ardmore Behavioral Health Collaborative, and Jodi Woydziak, of Community Youth Services and sponsored the Near Science: Beyond Aces training sessions.

FREEPORT Freeport police and community leaders agree that the level of gun violence in the city is not tolerable and they re willing to pursue all options to address it.
One of those options occurred this past weekend when residents were encouraged to bring guns of any type and size and turn them in for money Saturday at the King Community Campus. No IDs were checked or asked for, no photos taken, no questions asked; just show up with a firearm and get cash for turning it in. The goal was to try to reduce the number of violent incidents in the city in which guns are involved.
