COOKEVILLE, TN – WCTE is honored to be the recipient of a grant through the Bonnaroo Works Fund to produce a documentary with Noel Stojkov serving as the Sr. Producer/Editor.
"The documentary serves to educate and inform the public on how the arts can combat high ACEs - (ACEs - Adverse Childhood Experiences) scores. Experiences attributed through scoring points on the ACEs quiz do not just have the potential to immediately affect youth but can affect an individual years after a traumatic experience(s). In fact, statistical data shows that one experiencing a high ACEs score has increased risk of experiencing mental health issues. The documentary interviews academic experts and professionals who work at arts organizations who discuss how the arts can benefit individuals", said Brent Clark, Executive Producer and Director of Content & Digital Media
Adverse Childhood Experience (ACEs) are stressful and traumatic events in the life of a child. Such events include physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, physical neglect, and divorced parents, for example. WCTE explores in its half-hour documentary about how one can combat high ACEs scores through resiliencies in the arts to help cope and overcome one’s trauma.
