About the Combined Adult and Children and Young People ACEs Recovery Toolkit Programme
Rock Pool’s Recovery Toolkit programmes use a whole family trauma-informed psycho-educational model. We facilitate a safe space to ensure learning and promote collaboration. Our training is designed to be strengths based and skills building. We believe that by giving individuals knowledge we enable them to better understand and deal with their previous experiences. Programme participants are given practical strategies to help them thrive in their daily lives by developing resilience, increasing hope and enabling recovery.
The Adult ACEs Recovery Toolkit is a 10 week programme that has been written to educate and inform individuals about the impact of ACEs on them and their children if they have them. The programme provides guidance on the protective factors that help mitigate the impact of ACEs, and practical methods for individuals developing the resilience they need for themselves and for their children if they have them.
The Children and Young People ACEs Recovery Toolkit is an 8 week programme that uses a combination of creative activities and group working to develop young people’s resilience and give them opportunity to experience the healing of relational support. It provides information and education that enables children and young people to cope with the adversity they have experienced, (and may do so in the future).
The Children and Young People ACEs Recovery Toolkit is written as a complement to the Adults ACEs Recovery Toolkit. It is informed by many of the same therapeutic models and, where possible, is to be run concurrently with the Adult ACEs Recovery Toolkit.

There are conditions attached to delivering the Adult and/or Children and Young People ACEs Recovery Toolkit programmes, as highlighted below. Following the training, the newly trained facilitator will be responsible for ensuring participants of their facilitated Adult and/or Children and Young People ACEs Recovery Toolkit complete anonymised feedback forms about their delivery and the Toolkit programme and return them to Rock Pool. It will be standard practice for the facilitator to return an anonymised data return form to Rock Pool every time the Adult and/or Children and Young People ACEs Recovery Toolkit programme is completed. This will then enable us to put some measurements in place and we will be able to share the outcomes with all organisations who run the programme.
