In the 1990s, the CDC and Kaiser Permanente conducted a landmark study on ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences). They discovered that ACEs and trauma are a leading cause of our nation's social and health problems. During the presentation, you’ll learn more about:

• The ACE Study
• The impact of stress on the brain and how that affects a person over the course of their life
• Ways to encourage and promote resilience in youth and adults so together we can create a healthier community
