The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study findings represent a paradigm shift in human understanding of the origins of physical, social, mental, and societal health and well-being. We now know that leading causes of disease and disability, learning and productivity problems, and early death have their roots in the cumulative neurodevelopmental impacts of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).
The key goal of this training is to build a common language and understanding of ACEs and the related research. Attendees will be encouraged to think about how this information could be applied within their own “sphere of influence” (family, workplace, school, community, etc.)
Objectives
- Understand how brains adapt to the environment during childhood.
- Learn the basic concepts of toxic stress and its impact on development.
- Review the data and key findings from the Adverse Childhood Experiences study
- Discover the framework for building resiliency for individuals and communities.
