ACE: Adverse Childhood Experiences

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are potentially traumatic events in a child’s life that can have negative and lasting effects on health and well-being.

Adverse Childhood Experiences have a strong and cumulative impact on the health and functioning of adults.
The toxic levels of stress or trauma experienced by a child is linked to poor physical and mental health throughout life. What if we could alter that progression? We can and this training will show us how.
All of us want to enable in our children the ability to thrive.
How do we do that? How are we a care giver to children that show signs of ACE and unusual stress levels? How do we engage in relationships from co-workers to family members that have behaviors that reflect adverse childhood experiences?  This training will focus on the development and progression of ACE’s and how it affects all of us in our interpersonal relationships. It will help us look at relationships and situations in a completely different way and enable us to create positive change.
Who should attend: Our Church leadership (Staff, Team Leaders, and Church Council) are strongly encouraged to attend one of these sessions. Also, anyone who wants to attend is also welcomed. Anyone who is a care provider would benefit from this training.
