Adverse Childhood Experiences

Level: Level 2

Course description

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.

Further Information

Children and young people are amongst the most vulnerable in our society when it comes to the impact of adverse circumstances on their lives. Adverse childhood experience can have impacts on the development and mental health of children and young people that may persist into adulthood and affect their life chances. These might be personal circumstances such as the death or divorce of parents or domestic violence, for example, or national and international disasters. Children and young people affected by such events need support to strengthen their resilience and empower them to overcome their fears and the challenges they face.
