ACE’s, Trauma and Brain Development ctle

ACE’s, Trauma and Brain Development

ACEs are significant childhood experiences which can result in actual changes in brain development. These changes may affect a person’s learning ability, social skills, and can result in long-term health problems. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) view ACE’s as one of the major health issues in the 21st century.  Throughout this one day workshop, we will explore the ACE’s study performed by the American health maintenance organization Kaiser Permanente and the Centers for disease control and prevention, examine real life experiences, and discuss in depth the impact resilience has on the potential health impacts of ACE’s.  Participants will leave with concrete knowledge of how to support a person who has experienced childhood adversity in overcoming the risks associated with those experiences. 

Registration fee is $40.00 for 3 CTLE Hours.
