Childhood trauma has a lasting impact on both our emotional and physical health.

This interactive training will feature research on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the impact that it has on children and adults.

Participants will be encouraged to reflect on how ACEs have impacted their own classrooms and communities. Time will be spent in small group discussion to plan for prevention and intervention strategies that are practical and realistic.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

UNH students, UNH faculty, and community members are encouraged to attend.
