This half-day introduction to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) resilience and protective factors module is aimed at anyone who has contact with children, young people and adults either in their personal lives, as a volunteer, supporter or mentor or in a professional capacity as part of their work.
This introductory level of training uses the strong ACE evidence base to explore why people who may have experienced ACEs may behave in certain ways.
The session also explores what can be done to mitigate the impact of ACEs and specifically the role of resilience and protective factors.
- Increased awareness of what Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are why they are important
- A broad understanding of trauma caused by ACEs and the impact across the life course
- Enhanced knowledge of brain development and the impact of toxic stress on an individual
- A positive understanding of what resilience and protective factors are and how they can mitigate against the negative impact of ACEs
