Founder | Team Freedom Outreach
Issac Ingram is a native-born Metro Atlanta Georgia-based screenwriter, producer, father, husband and first-time director. He founded Team Freedom Outreach, an all-volunteer group of Christian men that mentors’ kids at youth detention centers. He wrote and produced an infomercial about Team Freedom Outreach which inspired an appearance and public service announcement endorsement from NFL quarterback Michael Vick. Inspired by black creative directors and talents like Robert Townsend, Spike Lee, Tyler Perry, Ryan Cooglar and Ava Duvernay, Ingram found the courage to write and direct the short film ‘True Freedom”. Ingram is currently promoting the short film “True Freedom” with the hope mentor/mentee programs will use it to bring awareness to the negative effects of abandonment. He also hopes the short film will be made into a feature film one day.
Overview:Home, schools, and neighborhoods should be safe, welcoming, and inclusive environments where youth can thrive. Unfortunately, this is not true for many Black students with Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). The global pandemic, police brutality, the rise of cyberbullying, and parental incarceration, take a toll on the health and well-being of African American students - shaping their lives forever. But there is hope. In this workshop, participants will learn trauma-informed care practices to rescript and overcome toxic stress and build resilience and agency.

Overview: Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) come in many forms, physical, mental, and emotional. In 1998, CDC-Kaiser Permanente published a groundbreaking study investigating ACEs’ impact on young people and long-term psychological and physical health complications. In this workshop, participants will learn the consequences of ACE, like neglect and household dysfunction, on young people's development. The workshop will encourage parents, caregivers, educators, and mentors to provide safe, stable, nurturing environments for their children to learn and build social-emotional skills and resilience. Participants will learn the best practices to counterbalance ACEs and help young people adapt and cope despite challenging and stressful times.
