Raising Resilient Children

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are stressful or traumatic events that occur before the age of 18 and can have lasting impacts on health and well-being. Research shows that ACEs are linked to increased risk for chronic disease, mental health challenges, and social difficulties across the lifespan. However, ACEs are preventable—and their effects can be lessened through supportive relationships, protective factors, and intentional strategies.

In this training, participants will explore the science of ACEs and the developing brain, gain practical tools for building resilience and improving overall wellness, and learn effective, trauma-informed behavior management techniques. The session focuses not only on understanding risk, but on strengthening protective factors that promote healing and long-term well-being.

Objectives:

• Define Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and their impact on mental, physical, and social well-being
• Identify the effects of ACEs and stress on brain development
• Understand behaviors commonly associated with childhood trauma
• Identify resilience-building and self-care strategies

Audience:
Professionals working with children and families, caregivers, and anyone who cares about the well-being of children.
