Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are common in the United States and bring with them some very negative short and long term effects. This topic serves the purpose of educating directors, trainers, and administrators about the basics of ACEs as well as neuroplasticity, brain development, and trauma-informed practices.

Learning Outcomes:

• Discuss familiarity of ACEs related information as part of a peer discussion.
• Describe ACEs in your own words.
• Evaluate the key points of ACES and trauma-informed practice and how to explain these points to adult learners.

A special thank you to Aurora Tollestrup, B.S. Ed. for developing the curriculum for this topic. ​
