About this Event
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)—including abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction—can have lasting effects on a person's physical health, emotional well-being, and development. A trauma-informed perspective is essential for understanding the experiences of children and families involved in child welfare systems. Understanding ACEs training explores how trauma shapes behavior and decision-making, offering insight into the challenges families face beyond what is visible in case records. Participants gain a deeper understanding of trauma responses and resilience, supporting thoughtful, compassionate consideration of child welfare situations and outcomes.
