ACE Ambassadors

ACE Ambassadors are community heroes who have completed the 100 day course that prepares them to be trauma informed ambassadors and initiate ways to spread contagious healing from ACEs throughout the nation.

Preventing and reducing the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences is a complex issue that requires leadership across multiple organisations and communities. To achieve this there needs to be a system-wide shift in thinking and practice which places front line staff and citizens as experimenters, innovators and future leaders.

We hope to see an ever-increasing capacity for practitioners and community leaders to generate change together by:

  • Creating learning environments to explore and make sense of change from a range of perspectives
  • Develop tailored interventions, based on understanding of local population needs and evidence.

Angel Lane coaches and facilitates individuals and teams and brings together diverse place-based groups to generate ideas and put them into practice. We assist you to develop prototype activities and services and, with more developed ideas, help to integrate these into mainstream provision, align with multiagency approaches and frameworks, and attune to broader, shared vision and purpose.

The Learning Journey

This diagram captures the different aspects of the learning journey, from identifying a programme place to developing change ideas that impact on the wider community and provide inspiration for others looking to take forward shifts in practice to reduce the impact of ACEs.

Time to think about personal experience alongside professional goals, recognise the uncertainty associated with dealing with complex change and that this is about many rather than one solution.

Coaching sessions gave you the confidence to think about ideas and take them forward

Everyone has a little bit of the jigsaw of what is happening in that particular locality.

The coaching sessions were invaluable, providing me with a creative space to brainstorm ideas and enabling me to develop these into tangible goals and strategies.

Enabled me not only to gain greater clarity but also provided me with the encouragement to pursue my goals.

Join a growing team of community heroes

Become an ACE Ambassador

Becoming an ambassador will support practitioners working in Kent by:

  • Building knowledge

To find out when and where there are ambassador programmes you can join, please contact spacematters@angellane.org.uk

Facilitate or Host your own ACE Ambassador Course

The ACE Ambassador programme is a place-based approach to system change. For your organisation, community or setting we can offer the fully facilitated 100-day programme or a ‘hosted’ version where we share facilitation. Or we can find a solution tailored to local needs and resources.

With the aim of rapidly increasing awareness of ACEs, shorter versions of the programme are offered for those seeking to join the programme delivery team, or to become ‘ACE Champions’ sharing learning with your own team or setting.

For more information about any of these programmes, please contact spacematters@angellane.org.uk.
