ACEs Training

Description

Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) have been identified in Wisconsin and nationally as having significant, negative impact on adult physical and mental health. The ACE study confirms that adversity and toxic stress during development increases the risk of physical, mental and behavioral problems later in life. This workshop will provide updated information about ACEs in Wisconsin, the impact on children and families, and the importance of professional and paraprofessional competency to effectively identify and address the effects of adversity and trauma.
