Trauma-Free NYC, the Mailman School of Public Health, and the NYC Administration for Children’s Services worked together during the Spring 2019 semester to address adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and trauma-informed care (TIC) among key stakeholders in New York City. This inter-professional service learning course was designed to equip graduate students with a solid knowledge base about ACEs and TIC and the professional skills to deliver this key information to frontline workers across NYC. This 3-credit course combined classroom learning with service to the local community. In only six weeks, our graduate students delivered 34 trainings to 786 participants across New York City.
