The youth you work with may struggle with the traumatic effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). ACEs often interfere with school success and can negatively impact participation in activities, events, relationships, overall wellness, and life outcomes. We invite you to learn about ACEs and their impact on brain development and behavior. This ACEs training series is intended to help parents and adults who serve youth better understand the impact of ACEs and to learn some best practice strategies to help youth and families overcome and prevent the future occurrence of ACEs, changing lives in a positive direction.
We'll cover:
- Understanding ACEs
- Overcoming ACEs
- Preventing ACEs
Light refreshments and lunch will be provided.
