Session 1: Understanding Adverse Childhood Experiences - Impact of Trauma – July 2025 Learning Series

Prevention – July 2025 Learning Series

Impact of Trauma

The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Study findings revolutionized our understanding 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). Attendees will learn about ACEs and ACEs research, and be encouraged to think about how this information could be applied within their own family, workplace, school, community, etc.

Understanding Vicarious Trauma is especially impactful for law enforcement, child protection, school counselors, community counselors, teachers, and other professionals/volunteers that have experienced victimization or trauma. By learning how trauma impacts the brain and behavior we can discover how to increase personal resiliency.

• Understand how brains adapt to the environment during childhood

• Review the data and key findings from the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study
• Discover the framework for building resiliency for individuals and communities
