To ensure a high-quality learning experience, PCAIN trainings are intentionally designed as small-group, interactive sessions. This format allows for meaningful discussion, personalized engagement, and the ability to tailor examples and resources to participants in real time.

Because these trainings are niche in content and offered at no cost, advance registration is essential to ensure that space is reserved for those who are able to attend and benefit from the experience.

We kindly ask that attendees notify us as soon as possible if they are unable to attend. Cancellations made at least 48 hours in advance allow us to offer the spot to another participant and ensure that the information reaches as many individuals as possible.

Repeated no-shows or late cancellations may impact eligibility for future complimentary trainings.

Understanding the Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) and building self- healing communities

Description:  The ACE Study confirms, with scientific evidence, that adversity during development increases the risk of physical, mental, and behavioral problems later in life. The ACE Study and other research using the study’s framework have taught us that ACEs are the leading cause of health and social problems in our nation and the most powerful determinant of the public’s health.  Building Self-Healing Communities is about investing in the people who have the most at stake—especially people affected by ACEs– so they can be expert leaders of their own community’s change. We live in a time of great hope and promise – the greatest public health discovery of our time is about us. The ACE Study provides a discovery – a common framework and language – that we can use to profoundly improve the health and well-being of our society now and for future generations to come.

Training Time: 2 Hours

Audience: Early Intervention Professionals, Early Childhood Education Professionals, Health Care Professionals, Law Enforcement, Teachers, Parents, and Social Service Staff (must be age 18 or older)
