In this interactive two-hour workshop\, we will explore the link between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on youth and children and their impact on development. We will explore the experiences\, perceptions\, beliefs\, and behaviors that may present challenges to development in children and youth. We will discuss practical\, trauma-informed\, outcome-driven strategies that improve the outcomes of youth work. \nLearning Objectives\n\nThe attendee will learn how to describe ACEs; how trauma and toxic stress affect biological\, physiological\, social\, emotional\, and brain development and the findings of the ACE study.\nThe attendee will learn how to describe adaptive response(s) to environmental circumstances and toxic stress that youth may encounter.\nThe attendee will learn how to make modifications to their work with youth to incorporate an understanding of ACEs and the youth’s adaptive response(s) to environmental circumstances and toxic stress.\nThe attendee will develop an understanding of the importance of being aware of personal perceptions and beliefs impacting the youth/provider dynamic so it does not add to the traumatic experience.\n\nRegistration\nWe are excited to bring this training to you free of charge.
