Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are becoming understood as the leading public health and social problem in our nation. The ACE Master Training Education and Toolkit is designed to provide participants with an introduction to scientific findings that explain how human beings adapt biologically to experiences, and how those adaptations affect health, safety, and productivity during a person’s lifespan. Scientific studies from the fields of developmental Neuroscience, Epigenetics, Adverse childhood experience and Resilient communities (NEAR Science) are described, along with instruction about to effectively teach about these topics.
Participants will receive an overview of the ACE Interface materials to use when teaching various adult audiences and they will continue the learning process as they teach and interact with one another in a learning community and engage in independent study using materials provided by ACE Interface. The cohort will have three additional one-hour Zoom meetings led by Kelly Zinn, LMSW, DSW cohort coordinator, who will answer any questions and help guide them.
Participants will learn:
The biologic and epigenetic adaptations to adversity and trauma, with a focus on experiences that begin
in childhood
The history of Adverse Childhood Experience(ACE) Study, including the reasons that various decisions
were made both in the design of the study and in the release of its findings
How individuals, schools, and communities can promote recovery and resilience, and
How and why to think critically about scientific evidence related to these topics
