The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) course is designed to provide a deep understanding of how traumatic events in childhood can impact long-term health and well-being. This course explores the concept of ACEs, their prevalence, and the profound effects they can have on physical, emotional, and mental health throughout an individual’s life.
Participants will learn about the types of adverse experiences, such as abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction, and how these experiences can lead to developmental challenges and increased risk of health issues like chronic disease, mental illness, and substance abuse. The course covers strategies for recognizing and responding to the signs of trauma, building resilience, and creating supportive environments that can mitigate the effects of ACEs.
By the end of the course, learners will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to support individuals who have experienced ACEs, helping to foster resilience and promote healing.
