This training introduces participants to the Adverse Childhood Experiences study that was done in the late 1990’s. Participants will learn how and why the study was conducted and conclusions due to the study. This training will explore a deeper understanding of brain development and what types of stress impact healthy brain development. Participants will learn how adverse childhood experiences impact lifelong physical and mental health. The conclusion of this training will focus on resilience and how building resilience can negate the negative impacts of adverse childhood experiences.
