Let's Talk: ACEs, Trauma, and Toxic Stress

A Series of Community Conversations

ACEs, Trauma, and Toxic Stress: The Impact of Toxic Stress and Becoming Trauma-Informed

In the absence of protective relationships, toxic stress in childhood impacts an individual's well-being across the lifetime. The ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) Study, one of the largest studies conducted to assess the association between childhood maltreatment, later-life health and well-being, is highlighted. 

This workshop provides an overview of the ACE study, Trauma, Toxic Stress and the impact on health. Resilience and building a trauma-informed approach is also explored.

This ACEs, Trauma, and Toxic Stress Workshop is appropriate for teachers, caregivers, professionals, and anyone who is interested in learning more about how adverse childhood experiences impact children...and what we can all do to foster resilience throughout the lifespan. By changing our perspective and recognizing that a child's behavior may be fueled by a feeling they are not able to manage, we are able to build the foundation to help a child that has been affected by ACEs, trauma, or toxic stress.
