“Exposure to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) is the greatest unaddressed public health threat facing our nation today.” – Robert Block, MD, former president of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Sustained toxic stress early in life, without buffering relationships, can significantly alter the brain’s architecture, development, and health throughout the lifespan. The immediate and long-term effects of unaddressed ACEs can manifest in everything from preschool expulsion to school violence, addiction, depression, chronic disease, unemployment, and early death. To break the Inter-generational cycle of trauma and ACEs, a cross sector Public Health prevention approach must be used. This session will explain ACEs, their impact on the brain, and examine trauma-informed approaches to care. Participants will learn how ACE’s impact our society and what divorce professionals should know.
Learn more about preventing ACEs in your community by assuring safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments.
