The Serious Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs): How You Can Help
The Serious Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs): How You Can Help is organized by E Care Behavioral Health Institute.
Overview:
Adverse Childhood Events (ACEs) can have a strong negative impact on the life course of an individual, increasing the risk of developing numerous problems from addiction to heart disease to cancer. Children who experience ACEs are also often misunderstood – seen as oppositional and defiant rather than scared and overwhelmed – and thus treated in ways that may compound the problems they face rather than resolve them.
Join Dr. Aaron Weiner for an overview of ACEs and their impact, including a deep understanding of their psychological and physiological underpinnings, as well as techniques you can use to coach caregivers on how to help children with ACEs heal and flourish.
Objectives:
Discuss the processes through which ACEs and toxic stress cause negative psychological and physiological outcomes.
Explain how trauma and ACEs create psychological processes that allow negative thought and feeling loops to perpetuate themselves and last indefinitely.
Give 3 or more strategies for coaching caregivers to more effectively shape the behavior of children suffering from the impact of ACEs.
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
